How to monetize services? - eviltoast

Hi guys. how can I monetize my rustdesk servers? like, imagine I tell client X to pay 1$/month for using my server, how can I authenticate users? (prevent others from using the server so only people who are paying can use).

    API keys are generally how this is done. You create an account system with billing and then allow account holders to generate API keys that must be included in every request. On your side you look up their account via the API key and check billing status before responding to the request.

    If you don’t have a lot of clients you could handle billing and key generation manually.
