"We don’t plan to implement this directly, as it is designed for test initially, we do not recommend using RustDesk with a public IP alone, that's also why direct ip access is turned off by default.
For security and privacy, we strongly advise using it in combination with a VPN—the VPN tunnel already provides end-to-end encryption, so additional encryption within RustDesk is unnecessary in that setup.
That said, we welcome community contributions!
Many users express interest or share feedback—but very few take the next step and submit a pull request.
If you’re able to help, your PR would be greatly appreciated! "
