How can I run AnyDesk within the Windows 11 Sandbox?

The client can not connect to the AnyDesk server. It just says

Disconnected from the AnyDesk network.

However, I can use the command line to ping the address boot.net.anydesk.com just fine.

Windows Sandbox is totally secured.

You cannot connect into as you are trying to do. That will not work.

Also remember that Windows Sandbox goes away when you shut down or restart the host machine.

If you need an environment to connect into, set up a Virtual Machine (Hyper-V will work), and then secure the machine (say Windows Defender for a Windows guest machine).

Connecting INTO an environment has inherent risks (always true) so secure the environment and make sure you know what you are allowing in.

AnyDesk works perfectly in Windows Sandbox

I just tried it on my side and it's working without any issues.

I simply started a clean install with zero configuration for Windows Sandbox, then installed AnyDesk and it worked.

I was able to connect from and to the Windows Sandbox system.

This means that AnyDesk has no issues working in Windows Sandbox.

I was using the latest version of AnyDesk (Version: 8.0.13) and Windows 11 Pro (Version: 24H2)
