What is GUFW ..... and will I have to put anything on my cell phone or will it just hook-up like a USB device or WIFI ???? ....
Open your app menu and type in GUFW. It should show as Firewall Configuration.
UFW is Uncomplicated Firewall. G UFW = Graphical Uncomplicated Firewall.
Once opened, you can click Rules then the (+) button to Add a new rule.
Click the Advanced tab.
Name= KDE-connect
Policy= Allow
Direction= In
Protocol=Both
From=1714
To:=1764
Click add.
Finished.
OR you can do all of the above in terminal quickly with:
sudo ufw allow 1714:1764/udp
sudo ufw allow 1714:1764/tcp
sudo ufw reload

I got this when I tried to install KDE Connect ....
mike@mike-ROG-Strix-G731GT-G731GT:~$ sudo apt install kde-connect

mike@mike-ROG-Strix-G731GT-G731GT:~$
My apologies...
sudo apt install kdeconnect
OK that worked well however when I ran the other 3 commands the first two were OK but the last one "sudo ufw" gave this message "Firewall not Installed" and didn't install ... if it is looking for a firewall on my computer it won't find one .... I use a mechanical firewall not a software one ... Win firewall is disconnected .... will KDE Connect work anyway ????
UFW / GUFW come preinstalled on Zorin OS.
