Hi, I'm using the latest Zorin Pro version.
Problem 1 - I cant get Zorin Connect to connect my PC and Android Pixel 7a. I've tried most options in related questions - turned off and on wifi, typed in the IP for my phone, turned on and off Zorin Connect, restated both - no joy
Problem 2 - I tried uninstalling Zorin Connect to reinstall - works fine on phone, but I can't uninstall it on the PC from Software/Installed - the uninstall button doesn't do anything!
Zorin Connect is a Gnome Extension, you may need to use an Extension Manager to uninstall/reinstall Zorin Connect.
You also can do so in terminal
sudo apt install --reinstall gnome-shell-extension-zorin-connect
Have you checked your Firewall and ensured it is permitted through?
The range is 1714-1764 for UDP and TCP.

For Problem 2:
sudo apt reinstall zorin-connect gnome-shell-extension-zorin-connect gnome-shell-extension-zorin-connect-browsers
As an Alternative uninstall it and then install it again:
Uninstall:
sudo apt purge zorin-connect gnome-shell-extension-zorin-connect gnome-shell-extension-zorin-connect-browsers
sudo apt autoremove [But please look what will be removed before You remove it]
Install:
sudo apt install zorin-connect gnome-shell-extension-zorin-connect gnome-shell-extension-zorin-connect-browsers
For Problem 1:
If that all shouldn't work, You could try it instead with KDE Connect. It is more or less the same but from KDE.

If none work you could also have a look at localsend

Hi, Thanks to yourself and the others for a fast reply.
I tried the uninstall and, once I got the right command, it says this
Hi, thanks for the reply. See my reply to Ponce-de-Leon - this said the files couldn't be found. I then tried your Terminal command for install and it says everything is up to date so it seems to be installed

gnome-shell-extension-zorin-connect is already the newest version (55.5).
gnome-shell-extension-zorin-connect set to manually installed.
0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 0 not to upgrade.
Is this the Firewall on Zorin (it's the preinstalled one) or on the phone? I don't think there is one on the phone. I do have a VPN on the phone, but I turned it off.
It's the Firewall in Zorin OS.
Hi everyone. I installed Localsend and had the same non-connection problem. I changed the Zorin firewall for Incoming from Deny to Allow and now both Localsend and Zorin Connect can connect to my phone.
Presumably a firewall set to allow incoming and outgoing isn't actually doing anything? Do I need to specify somehow what is allowed through and, if so, how?
Where do these UDP and TCP settings come into it and how do I find them?
Edit - I've found how to add these settings of 1714-1764 as a rule
Okay, I see 2 Mistakes. One from me (Sorry for that) and one from You. In Your Command is at the End where browers stand a ~ what is wrong and I wrote an s too much. Here is the Command:
sudo apt reinstall zorin-connect gnome-shell-extension-zorin-connect gnome-shell-extension-zorin-connect-browsers
I creect the s Mistake by the Uninstall and Install commands, too. Again: Sorry for this.
