Description

I generated a client with the connection type set to Outbound. I installed this client on my computer and connected to another client on the same computer. While testing the connection, I found an error in the connection log – it appears I'm connecting from a different computer, with a different name and ID, which is the real ID of another computer in my console. This causes the connection logs to be corrupted. I checked several times, and each time, I get the same incorrect computer name and Rustdesk ID.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the outbound connection between two clients on the same computer and capture the connection log and reported computer name and RustDesk ID. Trace the outbound connection and logging entry points involved; done means the log identifies the actual source computer consistently without corrupting another computer's identity.
