Yep, through their public rendezvous server.  Neither client specifies
the IP address of the other endpoint host.  The server takes care of
getting the IP addresses for the endpoint hosts, because each had to
connect to the server, and TCP mandates a host getting a connection know
the IP address of the host connecting to it.  The ID is recorded at the
server, so it know which connection from which host to join to a
connection from the other host.

You are not directly connecting between the endpoint hosts.  They
connect to the server, the server facilitates the handshaking between
the endpoints, and then the server is out of the circuit while the
endpoints talk directly to each other.

Even in your simple Rustdesk (or Teamviewer) setup, you are still using
a server.
