What is the best free remote desktop software?

[EdLuis]

Hi everyone!
I often help my parents with computer problems but since they live far away, I need to connect to their computers remotely. What’s the best app to use? I’m looking for something free and easy to use. What do you guys recommend?
Thanks!

If all of you use windows, try Microsoft Windows Quick Assist.
Free and already installed on your OS.

Hi! I’ve tried a few options. TeamViewer and AnyDesk are pretty well-known and reliable, but their free versions have some limitations. I ended up switching to HelpWire. It’s free, works well across different operating systems and also supports unattended access and file transfer, which is really handy.

TeamViewer and the direction they took (just like Logmein did in a way years ago, FML) is the reason why I am actively looking for alternatives, most likely self-hosted on a rented virtual server. I can't take their shit anymore.

Speaking of Meshcentral, does anyone here have any experience installing that?
