--- Comment #6 from Jon <[email protected]> ---
I just spent *OVER 4 HOURS* trying to work out why phones could see each other,
but the desktop PC was invisible, only to finally find this.

Yes, my desktop PC is on a public IPv4 in a /27 block. It's unusual, but it's
an intentional setup. My phones are on a separate VLAN on an RFC1918 block.

The Android app let's me add the desktop's hostname via the custom device list.
- it doesn't warn the resolved IP is a problem
- it pings it, giving misleading connectivity status
- there's zero notification/indication that incoming UDP packets are being
ignored

The desktop app (default Debian 13 + KDE Plasma) also gives zero warning that
it won't work.

It was only after moving my phones over to a separate SSID on the same /27
block and they lost visibility of each other I realized it was something
strange in the app. And it took asking an LLM to actually find this report.
