If this thread is to be believed their statement about TeamViewers products being unaffected is likely not true.

    Well this shouldn’t be a problem after the last time they got hacked, because they denied it and blamed the users, so everyone switched to a better product. Not to mention the extortionate rate hikes. Right?

        In my experience, security people are not very good lol. Last 2 teams I interacted with blew my mind on what they deemed ok and not. Like contradictory kind of things.

      What’s a better product? I use TeamViewer as an individual to help my technically illiterate grandparents who live across the country with tech issues. Would love an alternative if there is one.

        Rustdesk is great. I’ve also used AnyDesk.

        Recently I’ve used Parsec on a couple systems and it’s zippy, but I can’t get keyboard shortcuts to work for some reason.

        Anydesk was what I used most recently. They did also have a breach early this year, but they handled it responsibly from what I read.

        If company breaches are unacceptable, there are several selfhosted options, but I haven’t tried any so I can’t make a recommendation.
