Hello , i’ve been stuck for hours trying to get KDE Connect working but it will not find my devices. Here are the things I tried:
- Manually added my device IP in the app
- Added the customDevices line in ~/.config/kdeconnect/config
- Pinged my device IP and was able to get a response
- Tried with iPhone and Android device
- AP Isolation is disabled in my router settings
- Disabled the firewall
- Deleted all config and cache using
rm -rf ~/.config/kdeconnect/ ~/.cache/kdeconnect/ ~/.local/share/kdeconnect/ - Disabled Bluetooth backend in kdeconnect settings since I dont have a bluetooth adapter
- Output of
ss -tunelp | grep -i kdeconnect:

Despite trying all that , I still cannot get both devices to discover.
