popup and system information

i, Every time I boot my Kubuntu 25.10 Wayland, I receive a popup window to confirm that Krfb allows access. I select the checkbox to allow restoring in future sessions and press OK. 
After this, I can connect to this PC with Real VNC Viewer or TightVNC Viewer . 
After a reboot , I receive this popup again ... 
My problem is that this PC runs headless, and before confirming this popup, the PC does not allow connections. 

Any help , please... 

KDE Plasma Version: Plasma 6.5.6 
KDE Frameworks Version: KDE 6.20 
Qt Version: 
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION  
See the attached file with a print of the popup and system info. 

I already tried to use KRDP, but then there is another problem: it opens the connection but immediately shuts down . 

Regards.

krfb worked for some time. I think this issue appears after an update... 
Gemini told me to change to X11 instead of Wayland, and both programs should work. But I like my actual layout.

I can reproduce this on Plasma & krfb built from git-master

I made an account to confirm that I am also experiencing this on CachyOS. I had seen a report or two around of this happening on kubuntu and wanted to just quickly put in a note that it's happening outside of kubuntu or other debian-based distros.

Plasma 6.7.4 - Wayland
KDE Frameworks 6.2.8
Kernel 7.1.6-7-cachyos

I have the same issues with KRDP as Bilro mentions as well, but it's my understanding that those issues have to do more with incompatibilities with the official Microsoft RDP clients than with krdp as a server and would need to be reported as a krdp bug either way.
