Comment 1 Nate Graham 2025-01-28 00:17:36 UTC
What firewall backend are you using? Ufw or firewalld?
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2025-01-28 00:18:39 UTC
FWIW I see an entry for "kdeconnect" with the firewalld backend.
Comment 3 2wxsy58236r3 2025-01-28 09:40:44 UTC
I believe this is because firewalld's source code contains an entry for KDE Connect [1] while ufw's source code does not. [2]

plasma-firewall does not have its own set of rules and the available rule presets are provided by the backend used.

I'm using UFW as the firewall backend.
