Hi guys. how can I monetize my rustdesk servers? like, imagine I tell client X to pay 1$/month for using my server, how can I authenticate users? (prevent others from using the server so only people who are paying can use).

CONTEXT: I live in a country with very limited internet (like china) so using public servers is not good. I would also have to be able to maintain the costs of the server. so this is not illegal and not unethical.

    Assuming you have more than a handful clients, you’ll probably want some sort of CRM/billing system to keep track of who’s paid. And then you’ll want a centralized IAM tool where you can provision new accounts or deactivate ones that stop paying.

    That also depends on whether the underlying service supports some sort of sso/login federation.

    You can also just do everything by hand for the beginning, until it takes up too much time.

      thanks. rustdesk doesn’t have any authentication except for keys, which is generated for each server. someone suggested that I could spin up a server and key for each client.
