This article lists and explains the most common AnyDesk errors and status messages that may occur.
Error Messages
| Cannot connect to/Disconnected from the AnyDesk network |
This message is shown if the client is not able to connect to the AnyDesk server. For Cloud versions of AnyDesk, please make sure that the host device has an active internet connection and that all device and network-level security solutions have been configured to allow access to our servers. For more information, please see Firewall. For On-Premises versions of AnyDesk, please ensure that the host device is able to connect to your On-Premises server. Another potential issue could be an incorrectly configured system time on the host device which could lead to certificate validation issues. In this case, we would highly recommend that you synchronize the system time through an online time server. |

Messages while connected
