It may only apply to Direct IP Access, but isn't that what many would expect (not trusting middleman to be secure?)

Have you tried reading the docs?

>RustDesk is a single open-source application (AGPL) with its own architecture. Clients connect outward to an ID/rendezvous server, which brokers a peer-to-peer or relayed session. Per the RustDesk documentation, traffic is end-to-end encrypted (built on NaCl)

Not yet...good to chastise me on this, but in my defense, I am at work, and am just trying to get a sense of this, as I would like to move away from VNC.

The specific purpose of RustDesk is to have the middleman making remote access across networks easier. It's intended to replace TeamViewer, LogMeIn, etc. not VNC or RDP.

You either pick a middleman you want to trust or you run one of your own, if you don't want that or need the features if offers RustDesk is not for you.
