RustDesk Server Pro

RustDesk Server Pro has more features compared to the open source version.

Note

If you build your own server on your home/office, and can’t connect it through public IP/domain, please check this article.

Note

We recommend reading this first before proceeding, How does self-hosted server work?.

Hardware requirement

Lowest level VPS is enough for your use cases. The server software is not CPU and memory intensive. Our public ID server hosted on a 2 CPU/4 GB Vultr server serves 1.0+ million endpoints. Each relay connection consumes avg 180kb per second. 1 cpu core and 1G ram is enough to support 1000 relay concurrent connections.
