Hi guys. how can I monetize my rustdesk servers? like, imagine I tell client X to pay 1$/month for using my server, how can I authenticate users? (prevent others from using the server so only people who are paying can use).

CONTEXT: I live in a country with very limited internet (like china) so using public servers is not good. I would also have to be able to maintain the costs of the server. so this is not illegal and not unethical.

    If there is a way to handle auth, then you can maybe put it behind a SSO platform (Keycloak, fusionauth, authlia, etc) and slap a billing system (not familiar with open source solutions here, I used to use commercial solutions like Blesta and WHMCS) to activate/deactivate user accounts. You’d need to do a lot of the expropriation and heavy lifting yourself though.
