Wait is this a same machine that had bluetooth issues? Kde and gbome are difrent desktops
This is gnome fork of kdeconnect
my phone doesn’t see the pc and the pc doesn’t see the phone and yes this is gnome install i have ran kdeconnect before i just can’t find the problem
Are you running a VPN on either device?
what if you fisable firewall to see it isint blickung anything if it connects all good also network discovery needs to be enavled on settings and if firewall is blickung you need to open ports
udp and tcp ports are 1714-1764 but only open if it is firewall issue
no not at the moment
i have not installed a firewall unless it comes pre installed haven’t made any changes for that this why i ask if i need to make some changes to get this working thanks
i am also using Endeavour-OS and i had to run this (sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=kdeconnect) cmd to get it to work so this is why i was asking if i needed to make changes.
You need to allow it via the firewall the ports. Im not sure currently which are used.
thisbis from kde forums
you need to put the firewall income policy to allow this might solve alot of problems
Firewall Configuration for KDE Connect
To ensure KDE Connect works properly, you need to allow specific ports on your firewall. Below are the steps to configure your firewall using either UFW (Uncomplicated Firewall) or Firewalld.
Using UFW
Allowing TCP Ports
To allow the necessary TCP ports, run the following command:
sudo ufw allow 1714:1764/tcp
Allowing UDP Ports
Next, allow the required UDP ports with the following command:
sudo ufw allow 1714:1764/udp
Reload UFW
To apply the changes, reload the UFW settings:
sudo ufw reload
Alternative: Using Firewalld
If you prefer using Firewalld, follow these steps:
Allowing TCP Ports
To allow the required TCP ports, use the following command:
sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=1714-1764/tcp --permanent
Allowing UDP Ports
Similarly, to allow the necessary UDP ports, run:
sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=1714-1764/udp --permanent
Reload Firewalld
Finally, reload Firewalld to apply the changes:
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
By following these steps, you should be able to configure your firewall to work seamlessly with KDE Connect.

hey i found and bookmarked your solution to be perfect to make kde connect able to connect i was wondering what would be the equivalent GUI way to do the mentioned command by going in Plasma Setting - Wifi & Internet - Firewall
@ptr1337 can this be setup by default in CachyOs when installation so users could have more easy out of the box experience when trying to use kde connect
