I installed Anydesk a few days ago after the usual trials and tribulations with Teamviewer. I have 1 linux and 2 Win10 installs in my home network. When I make a connection after approx 1 minute the screen freezes and then 30 seconds later I get an error: Connection Closed. The network connection was closed unexpectedly.

The self-hosted network applianceprovides the same set of features as our regular cloud solution, so you canhost your own internal version AnyDesk with set-up times of under an hour.
On-Premises’ essential feature is that itcreates a separate network. IDs from the cloud-based AnyDesk network (AnyNet)are not compatible. However, this self-hosted solution can connect devices fromall over the world provided the address of the appliance is setup as FQDN. Thisdetail represents the one major difference to the regular public network, asthe owner is the only entity that can create AnyDesk clients for thisappliance. The customer has complete control over participants in the networkand each client can be limited, banned, or disabled.
Powerplants, datacenters, assembly lines,universities, press centers, government agencies, chemical plants, androidvendors, airports, automotive facilities, and structural engineering sites –AnyDesk keeps expanding its footprint into all sectors of the economy.
AnyDesk On-Premises grants access todevices, facilitating the exchange of data and device monitoring even in areaswith limited access rights.
NetworkTypes
The appliance can be hosted by any network,such as a datacenter, EPN, even a completely offline environment withoutinternet access ready to meet the highest security standards offering aflexible alternative to the cloud.
Interface
The main interfaces are the custom clientgenerator that can accommodate your company’s logo and branding; individualoverride settings for role-based deployment; and the web UI used to managedatabase-related tasks like connected clients and sessions history. Allclient-based activities can be monitored by third-party applications viaREST-API. You can easily connect billing services or external databases fortracking purposes and connection-based log files are included as well.
The appliance also offers console commandsto manage core properties like licenses, namespaces, stats, logging,certificates, and more.
CustomClients
my.anydesk.com also provides a platform to create custom clients for our On-Premises solution, offering the flexibility users need to personalize clients. Options to store template setting-profiles speed up the process of managing different client types, especially when working across platforms. And you can apply custom or override settings for a wide range of features. See Advanced Options for more.
Deployment
The best method of deployment is throughMSI-based custom clients to be distributed by GPO. One advantage of the AnyDeskclient is its modest file size of just 2MB. The preset password featureprovides preconfigured access to all managed clients, which is especiallyuseful.
Once set up, the appliance offers performance, reliability, and scalability. A regular Linux desktop machine can host up to 10,000 sessions even on systems offering only 4 gigs of RAM.
