Detect or fix firewall issues

[zhaiyusci]

Dear developer,

I tried this nice tool, and I find the Linux version cannot be found by other devices I have.

I tried to input the IP, but not work.

Then I realize it is the firewall issue. I open the port in firewall settings, and it works like a charm.

Is it possible to let LocalSend open the port automatically (perhaps difficult because root privilege is needed), or at least check the availability of the port and suggest the user what to do?

Cheers,
Yu

Thanks for mentioning this issue. I can check if this app can detect blocked ports.

Just tried this app today. Very promising Warpinator replacement. This is the only issue preventing me from migrating.

My bad, I just realized that I had to allow 53317 in Fedora's firewall like I did for Warpinator and 42000.

Fixing firewall issues is added in v1.8.0 for Windows users. On Linux, the user needs to fix it.

There are plenty of firewall fix commands. Do you know what should be executed by LocalSend so it works for everyone?

Have no idea about check the firewall. I also find the commands are different for Linux distributions.

What about checking the status of port instead?
