Description

I am testing rustdesk and use the docker images. For both containers (hbbs and hbbr) I enabled the "-k _" option like so:

command: hbbs -r my.domain.com:21117 -k _
command: hbbr -k _

Then I downloaded the portable Windows client and started it. I changed the "ID Server", and without entering the key the green status lights up, connection is obviously made. What am I doing wrong here? Or do I misinterpret the "-k _" option?

Research direction

Start with the hbbs and hbbr command-line configurations shown in the issue, then read the repository documentation and argument handling for -k _. Reproduce the behavior with the portable Windows client; done means determining whether an unkeyed client should be rejected or whether the option has been misunderstood.
