From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Can't reach my Android device from Linux Mint (lemmy.ml)

I am trying to set up KDE Connect between a machine running Linux Mint and my Android-device. It does not show up, and it turns out I don't receive any response if I ping it, and I have the same issue trying to ping the machine from my Android device (from Termux). I've tried two different Android devices, but no luck.

This is not an issue with two other machines I have. Both have KDE Connect setup and I can ping the phone just fine, and I can also ping from the phone. They're all connected to the same VLAN. I can also ping from this machine to the other machines. ufw is disabled.

What could be the issue here?

EDIT: Connection established suddenly after installing and running iptraf.

if you decide to turn ufw back on:

sudo ufw allow 1714:1764/udp

sudo ufw allow 1714:1764/tcp

This. And check that no device uses a VPN
