Hi, in Fedora we would like to puch a hole into the Firewall for KDE Connect automatically, opened this https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1115547 bug report. Because it might also be a good idea to ask user before binding/listening on a specific network IF, so I was thinking that if such code is added it would be also the right place to have a hook which would call a distribution supplied scriptlet to open up the firewall. Reproducible: Always
I don't think we should bother the user with this: maybe we could open the ports automatically when the kdeconnect package is installed (a installation-time script could do it?).
I think kdeconnect should be enabled only on interfaces where it is expected that such devices will be connected but not eg on company networks. Afaics this is not easy to determine In my view the security implications are somewhat similar to Bluetooth devices .. except that BT has a dedicatetd IF with very limited range whereas for kdeconnect the limits must be set manually.
Referred bug was closed.
