Choose this fork only if HVNC-style behavior is the goal and you are prepared to own a heavily diverged, stale codebase. For general remote desktop use, upstream RustDesk is the safer and more complete choice.

Choose this fork if you want a highly customized RustDesk branch with altered mobile/input and connection behavior, and you are comfortable carrying divergence from upstream. Prefer upstream if you want the newest fixes, maximum compatibility, and lower maintenance risk.

Choose this fork only if you specifically want a web-client-oriented RustDesk variant and accept a stale, highly diverged codebase. If you want the full upstream feature set, active maintenance, or low integration risk, the main RustDesk repo is the safer choice.

Choose this fork only if you specifically need its private customizations and are willing to own a stale, highly divergent codebase. For most adopters who want a dependable RustDesk base, upstream is the safer choice.

Choose this fork if you need natfrp-specific build and connection behavior and are willing to trade away upstream freshness. If you want the latest RustDesk fixes, packaging updates, and broader platform polish, upstream is the safer default.

Choose this fork only if its custom deployment and workflow changes match your needs; otherwise upstream RustDesk is the safer default because it is much more current and materially less risky to adopt.
