Describe the bug you encountered:

Running my own Rustdesk server with key (-k command) used by the server and all connected clients, the connection window always indicates that the connection is not encrypted (red shield symbol).
The overall connection is fine, access without the key is rejected, key is supplied to hbbr and hbbs with the -k parameter.

What did you expect to happen instead?

Encrypted connection (green symbol).

How did you install RustDesk?

Github docker release

RustDesk version and environment

Rustdesk 1.1.9 on an Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS under Proxmox.
