Is there one that supports MS RDP or FreeRDP? For me that would be quite an improvement, if the people who need support don't need to install anything and it's built-in in their OS. The other issue with RDP/FreeRDP/TeamViewer alternatives for me is that people are behind routers with dynamic IPs, and certainly not capable of setting up a dynds server or firewall settings or port forwarding.
So TeamViewer-like ID system + RDP in open source?
Agreed, unfortunately it's difficult to get purchase in a lot of companies because they don't want to be responsible for the security of the solution, and they don't want to be responsible for the maintenance of the solution. It's another form of corporate CYA, at the end of the day they just want to be able to point the blame for any security breaches towards someone else.
Love that you've been creating an alternative to the commercial, close-source, solutions!
I don't think this is the "gotcha" you think it is.
1. The developer isn't Chinese, he's Singaporean. The "Chinese" found in the cert path was literally gibberish, most likely garbled unicode.
2. They were using a dev cert for a virtual video driver, which they're working on getting proper signing from MSFT and also have a workaround virtual driver in the mean time. https://x.com/rustdesk/status/1781263566504653052

Sorry it came across as a "gotcha"; just meant as a potentially-relevant HN post from a few months ago in the spirit of sharing and curiosity.
But digging a bit further, I did find a few HN comments from two years ago that may be worth considering; pizza234's "I personally discourage people from using this software."[1] and proto_lambda's "If this is the kind of thing that's considered acceptable by the developer, I'd rather keep their products far away from my machines."[2]
