Maybe it's just a me problem, but I always have had troubles getting KDE Connect connecting my phone to other devices than my desktop. My phone and laptop could both be connected to the same wifi and be within inches of each other but refuse to acknowledge their existence. But I have my phone on the other side of the world and I swear it'll be able to connect to my desktop with no problem.

KDE Connect is a pretty good program, but I can't recommend it because of the troubles I always have.

I had this too until I discovered my router doesn't allow communication between devices connected to the 5GHz band. 2.4GHz works fine so now I have everything connected to that
