Hi. I'm new to Neon amd KDE Connect ... unfortunately its not working ...

Maybe check router/firewall settings?

Aha i just realized it was Neon firewall enabled blocking it, works when I disabled firewall ... is it easy to allow Firewall to allow for kde connect to pass? I'm currently new and unfamiliar with technical terminal stuff
