Describe the bug

LAN/WAN router box without internet.
LocalSend 1.14 on an android device to send files

Hardly detects devices.
Begining transfer.
after near 1 minute, No answer (Timeout)

To reproduce

Tried with other but equal port number

An Android, select media files, share through Localsend.

On PC, localsend is in "reciever" mode

on Android, mode "sender".
localsend looking for devices.... hardly discover PC.

begin transfer
no answer from PC (localsend doesn't react even in log activities)
after a moment, error rises. No transfer done. Timeout seen in log activities.

When router gets an internet connection, localsend works as expected.

Please check the README: https://github.com/localsend/localsend?tab=readme-ov-file#setup

Specifically, ensure that AP isolation is turned off (allow devices to communicate with each other)
