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