MacOS 11 Big Sur and newer and Apple Silicon devices are only supported on AnyDesk 6.1.0 for macOS or newer. Older Versions of AnyDesk that supports macOS 10.10 can be found here. There are currently two installation modes for AnyDesk for macOS, A) a full installation and B) a portable installation: A) The full installation installs both the AnyDesk client as well as the AnyDesk Services which is required to use features such as being able to connect to the macOS AnyDesk. To connect to the AnyDesk network port 80, 443 or 6568 is used. For standard listening port direct line connection is 7070 (TCP). AnyDesk is slow despite LAN connection AnyDesk might not recognize a direct connection and the session will be established via AnyDesk network.

Interactive Access
Incoming session requests can either be automatically rejected or need user interaction.
In case Interactive Access is enabled, the Accept Window will be shown whenever an incoming session request arrives.
To start the session the request has to be accepted either by pressing 'Accept' in the Accept Window or by sending valid credentials (see Unattended Access).
There are three options for incoming session requests:

Connection
Direct Connection
Direct connections are usually faster than those using a server to communicate. However, in some network environments the connection may be closed after some time,for example because of firewall interaction. Disable direct connections in the settings to avoid unexpected session ends.
Local Port Listening
For direct connections in the local network TCP Port 7070 is used for listening by default. This port is opened when installing AnyDesk.To specify a custom port go to Settings ยป Connection. (Must be set for all clients.)
HTTP-Proxy
AnyDesk supports using a Proxy Server. Available working modes are:
- disabled
- determined automatically (Proxy Auto-Config / PAC)
- specified
- IP
- Port
- Authentification
Note: The Proxy must support CONNECT Method. Authentification can be done with basic access and digest access. NTLM is supported in the current beta.
