Interesting! By saying it does a "call out from both ends" you mean it's not just a client? 

In Sys Prefs --> Sharing, I will need to uncheck "Remote Management" on my target machine (the one I want to remote desktop into), and then port 5900 will be closed. How will AnyDesk interact with the host? Is there software to be installed on both ends?
