KDE Connect works over wi-fi by having your phone and computer on the same |
| 21 |
network. You must run the app on your phone and it should see your computer |
| 22 |
if it is running KDE Connect. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Make sure you allow the KDE Connect ports in your firewall. 1714-1764 for |
| 25 |
UDP and TCP. |

|

Bluetooth services from your phone are not related to KDE Connect. |
