AnyDesk is a Remote Desktop solution which has become very popular in the last two years. It is overtaking TeamViewer in popularity because AnyDesk is currently a lot more generous with how much activity they allow on the free version. However, it is not always desirable to have remote access software such as AnyDesk running on your network. This article explains a number of measures to block AnyDesk from connecting out to the big wide world.

In computing, Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a graphical desktop-sharing system that uses the Remote Frame Buffer protocol (RFB) to remotely control another computer.It transmits the keyboard and mouse events from one computer to another, relaying the graphical-screen updates back in the other direction, over a network. AnyDesk is an appropriate software for use by us to resolve technical ticket tickets made by users of the organization. Whenever there is a problem or request to install something on the workstation, IT is triggered and we use this tool to resolve the online and remote ticket.

Ports used by AnyDesk

Like most hosted remote-access applications these days, AnyDesk connects out on ports TCP 80, TCP 443, and also one unique port – TCP 6568.

Internally, it uses UDP ports 50001-50003 for multicasting to allow discovery on your local network.

No special outbound rules or port forwarding are required to make AnyDesk work – so long as your network administrator hasn’t followed the below instructions to make life difficult for AnyDesk.

How to Block AnyDesk On Your Network

If you want to block AnyDesk on your network, there are a few measures you can put in place:

1. Create local firewall rules using Windows Firewall to block outgoing connections from AnyDesk.exe
   
2. Block the resolution of DNS records on the anydesk.com domain. If you run your own DNS server (such as an Active Directory server) then this is easy:
   1. Open your DNS Management Console
   2. Create a top-level record for ‘anydesk.com‘
   3. Do nothing else. By pointing this record nowhere you will stop connections to this domain and all of it’s subdomains
      
3. Block anydesk.com in PiHole – this is another way to use DNS blocking to stop AnyDesk from connecting out via your network
   
4. Ensure the only DNS connections allowed on your network are to your own internal DNS servers (which contain the above dummy-record). This removes the possibility of the AnyDesk client checking DNS records against their own servers, instead of yours. To do so, add a new outgoing firewall rule to disallow TCP & UDP port 53 from all source IP addresses, EXCEPT the addresses of your own DNS servers.
   
5. You can utilise Group Policy to deny AnyDesk.exe from running. To do this, create a new Software Restriction Policy with a Hash Rule for AnyDesk.exe.
   
6. If you have a firewall with Deep Packet Exception, you can enable the in-built rules to block AnyDesk. These firewalls often release new definition updates as the situation changes, so a lot of the hard work is handled for you.
   
7. Block outgoing TCP Port 6568. You can create a DENY rule in your firewall to do this.

AnyDesk does not have any fixed IP addresses – they simply use IPs from cloud providers, and do not publish a list, so blocking IPs will be a game of whack-a-mole. However, these above seven steps should allow you to be successful in blocking AnyDesk from connecting out to the internet.

Continuing the gradual improvements towards the next LTS (Long Term Support) release, Ubuntu 21.04 is officially out now to bring some of the latest enhancements to the popular Linux distribution.

Between each LTS release, Canonical puts out one of these production-ready interim releases every six months with all the latest work. The current LTS is Ubuntu 20.04 supported until April 2025 with the next being Ubuntu 22.04 due April 2022. With the Ubuntu 21.04 release today it will provide at least 9 months of updates.

On the desktop the biggest change is probably that it uses Wayland by default which Canonical say is a 'significant leap forward in security'. Quite a few application have been ported already, while others will be run through XWayland. Although for NVIDIA users, right now you're likely stuck with Xorg until NVIDIA put out their upcoming newer drivers with work merged ready.

Some of the highlights include:

• An enterprise partnership with Microsoft, to bring native Microsoft Active Directory integration with the support for Microsoft SQL server, deployed on-prem or through the Azure Marketplace
• An Active Directory, to help developers manage workstations through configure system settings, directly from an AD domain controller
• A smoother graphics experience and better fractional scaling with Wayland by default – Firefox, OBS Studio and others are built with Electron and Flutter to take advantage of Wayland automatically
• A community maintained dark theme, Yaru, with accessibility improvements in navigation and new file icons

In other recent Ubuntu news, Canonical recently announced that the Community Team has been somewhat revived to directly serve the community with these tasks going forwards:

• Increase the number of contributors and foster future community leadership
• Create a more personable, positive, and supportive community
• Create a more effective community, where people are empowered to make things happen
• Increase collaboration between Canonical employees and volunteers in the community

Their initial plans for the group include 'scheduling community office hours (with occasional special guests from the community and other Canonical teams), supporting regular engagement days (e.g. Testing and Bug Days), collaborating on a community roadmap, and advocating for increased community engagement across Canonical'.

Tomorrow, April 23, the Ubuntu Desktop Team will also be doing an AMA (ask me anything) with team members and the community at 3PM UTC. You can join in on the Ubuntu OnAir YouTube.
