Can RustDesk's telemetry be disabled? Collecting user device information, session duration, and other telemetry data seems unnecessary for a remote desktop application. Users should have the option to disable all telemetry and they should be disabled by default.

I mean everything but the device info is required to establish the connection if its p2p no? How else would it know where to direct the connections.

Fair point. My mistake.

You can set up a local RustDesk server. It mentions this during setup.
