Why is AnyDesk slow even on a LAN connection?

If you are connected via LAN but experiencing performance issues, AnyDesk might not be using a direct connection. Instead, the session may be routed through the public AnyDesk network.

To ensure a direct LAN connection:

1. Check for the  icon
   This icon in the session toolbar confirms a direct LAN connection. If it is missing, a direct connection is not active.

2. Enable direct connections
   Go to Settings > Connections and ensure Allow direct connections is enabled.

3. Reconnect the session
   Close the session and reconnect. This allows AnyDesk to re-establish the connection using the updated settings.

💡 NOTE

Installing AnyDesk instead of running it in portable mode improves LAN detection and connection reliability.
