How can you be so sure, if it is not working for you?
Actually, I don't have firewalld running on my laptop,
and shorewall on my server seems to allow all communication on my local LAN.

I've checked again, and my phone sends one UDP packet to port 1714.
This port does not seem to be open on my laptop:
[tim@rose ~]$ sudo nmap -sU 127.0.0.1
shows some UDP ports open on my LAP (eg dhcp, ntp) but not this one.
But I am able to telnet this port:
[tim@rose ~]$ telnet 127.0.0.1 1714
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
In fact I don't see any evidence that clicking on the KDE Connect icon
(in System Settings) has any effect at all, eg in /var/log/messages .
Is one meant to do anything apart from click on this icon
(and re-start KDE Connect on the phone)?
