Bug ID: 492653
Summary: KDE CONNECT (Windows Firewall)
Classification: Applications
Product: kdeconnect
Version: 24.08.0
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: windows-application
Assignee: piyushaggarwal...@gmail.com
Reporter: samsweb.q3...@simplelogin.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY:
Have downloaded 'KDE connect' onto ''Android'' mobile phone & ''Windows'' 10
Desktop
There are ''no linked'' devices on both the apps?
Viewed the 'No connection ' instructions on the 'support website'.
These all relate to 'Linux' with Terminal commands to reconfigure a Linux
firewall.
Attempted to allow the 'KDE Connect' App though the ''Windows Firewall''.
But cannot seem to find the exact file location for the KDE Connect app to
allow though the Windows Firewall (KDE Connect app is not listed in:
USERS,PROGRAMS,WINDOWS,MICROSOFT file search).
Is it possible for you to give instructions for Windows Based users on how to
configure KDE Connect so it can pass though a Windows Firewall.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Download app on Android & Windows 10
2. Devices not connecting (no devices shown on Android or Windows KDE Connect
Apps).
3. Attempt to allow through / configure for Windows 10 (not Linux)
4. Find File location of KDE Connect App, to allow through Windows Firewall
OBSERVED RESULT:
Unable to allow a KDE Connect App though a Windows Firewall, as the KDE App
file location not located on the Windows 10 File/Program system (or none that I
could easily find)
EXPECTED RESULT
Expected a paired connection between Android/Windows (link on Syncthing /
Signal messenger) without configuration of Firewall
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 10
Many thanks if you can help resolve, suggest.
I do use Linux as well, but not, as yet, as my daily driver (hopefully in 2025
and beyond!)
