So, I’m trying to setup self hosted rustdesk. I have it running in a docker container. I have allowed the ports through the firewall. I have setup the same ports forwarded in my router, to the server running rustdesk. I have set the private key on both clients.

on systems internal network, I can setup the clients to connect with internal IP. And get the “ready” at the bottom. But key mismatch error when trying to actually connect between two internal systems.

If I setup the client with my external up (and I’ve tried domain name as well) I get a delay then, “not ready please check your connection”, as well as the key mismatch.

I feel I’m running into two different problems, but I can’t find any hints looking through the container logs (in fact, once the containers are running, I don’t really get any logs populating when trying to connect a client)

Any suggestions? I’m at a loss here.

    Ok. Found some DNS settings on my router, and fixed the internal domain name “problem” but it’s still only internal. If I set my public IP(internally) it doesn’t connect.

    I can connect to an internal computer from external, even though the client says “not ready”.

    I cannot connect from internal to external computer. Instantly shows “remote desktop is offline”

    This leads me to think that somehow I have something wrong in router settings, or I have a security feature blocking something. I just don’t know enough about routing to know where to look.
