AnyDesk has started nagging for large sums of money. This is not quite as smooth as AnyDesk, but good enough for my needs.
The client implementation is free software (as in freedom) and it has an excellent support service.

Comments about MeshCentral as an Alternative to AnyDesk
This is a far more complete platform than any of the other remote applications out there, you can control every access, every part of it. It's an amazing software! Thanks to the Devs!
Best tool for installing RustDesk on my remote computers remotely. Thanks for all the years and sorry, its not you, its me. I cannot take that licence nagging and subscription payments.
