Background Note
One monitor on a desktop computer is not enough for me, and I don't have many monitors at hand. My laptop has a screen, but I can't directly connect the HDMI cable to expand the screen on the desktop. After researching for a period of time, I found that using spacedesk software can basically solve this problem perfectly.

Close: There are two ways,
One is to close the client
The other is to close it on the server side (this method is recommended, because after opening the server side again, the above settings allow the client to automatically reconnect)
