hi,

on my company are multiple network segments, one where my notebook is behind another router doing NAT to the rest of the network where the server runs. I installed KDE connect on both do sync my clipboard, but i cant manage a connection. I entered the ip address of the server at 

customDevices=

in %localappdata%\Packages\KDEe.V.KDEConnect_7vt06qxq7ptv8\LocalCache\Local\kdeconnect\config

the notebook is able to reach the server, the server is not able to reach the notebook, so it would need an outgoing connection from the notebook to work.

i set up the same devices to sync using syncthing by manually entering the server ip on the notebook (internet connections/relay disabled on both) and it is working.

i hope it is possible to make it work to with KDE connect... Which port is used to connect, do i have to allow something in the firewall?

thanks for any help in advance and keep up the good work!
