Description V 2021-02-01 12:03:33 UTC
SUMMARY

by default kdeconnectd listens on all network interfaces which might not be good in terms of security. It would be better to add an option to specify one interface for kdeconnectd to bind to, for example - a private LAN/WLAN or an encrypted VPN between the phone and the computer.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. start kdeconnectd
2. run "netstat -tulpan | grep kdeconnect"

OBSERVED RESULT

kdeconnect listens on all interfaces


EXPECTED RESULT

listen on all interfaces if kdeconnectd was started without arguments;
if started as e.g. "kdeconnectd -i eth0" then listen on eth0 interface only, or "kdeconnectd -i tun0" then listen on tun0 interface only.
