My company wants a solution for remote access, something like VNC. I’d like to support open source development, so any suggestions for something paid that can work without a centralized server?

VNC has long been abandoned by the engineering world. It’s inefficient, it has no transport security, and the implementations are very subjective.
The last time I used a commercial VPS, I’m pretty sure it used VNC to provide console access.
The VNC software I linked to above appears to support TLS. If TLS isn’t sufficient transport security, then most Internet-using software is going to be in trouble.
I’m not sure what you mean by subjective.
I haven’t looked at the VNC protocol for a while, but I don’t think that it imposes any terrible inefficiencies. A couple of decades back, I needed to implement something quick-and-dirty similar to VNC, and went with rendering window contents and handling dragging of windows locally, which I don’t believe that VNC can do (or didn’t then) but IIRC VNC has a tile cache, which, if intelligently used, should avoid most traffic. Dunno if it can deal well with efficiently rendering visual effects.

I was mostly with you right up until paragraph/linebreak/whatever 4. Took a pretty civil discussion and went bonkers. Put down the keyboard, go rub one out, and relax my dude.
We use VNC as we can record the sessions easily for later priof / discussion with our customers.
It’s in a VPN tunnel of course.
But of course, we also don’t use Google, AWS, etc as they’re not secure enough for us and we have our own SOCs

If you are going to be this shitty, dismissive and misinformative, you can head back to Twitter.
