How to eliminate the waiting period on AnyDesk

[Matt]

Using AnyDesk four to five times a week will start showing a 100-second wait screen before the connection was made and during the sessions. I need to get rid of it as it is now unpleasant.

 

 

I know that uninstalling and reinstalling it would work, but I needed something that will work more quickly and doesn't remove my settings. I found this great tool that can generate new address and doesn't reset AnyDesk settings.

Very easy and simple to use. 

 

You have to run the script as an administrator in Windows (right click --> Run as administrator)
OR
as root in Linux (first you need to give the script execution privileges, chmod +x /path/to/script).

 

Moreover, you may stay using old version of AnyDesk (6.0.8 for Windows, 6.0.1 for Linux and 6.0.1 for FreeBSD).

Much obliged for the developer of this tool, and hopefully this will help anyone who has the same situation.

 

Update: A new script that resets the AnyDesk address without erasing its data.
