Description of problem: KDE Connect is not allowed to communicate through the firewall, so it does not work unless the user manually disables the firewall or adds a rule allowing it. This latter option requires knowing all the technical details of which ports it communicates on, which the user is not likely to know. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install KDE Connect app on your Android smartphone 2. Install `kde-connect` package on your Fedora computer 3. Try to pair your phone Actual results: The phone can't be found from the computer, and the computer can't be found from the phone. Expected results: Communication between the two works with no manual firewall configuration required. Additional info: Disabling the firewall allows communication between the two devices, indicating that the firewall is blocking them. I don't think there is a use case for installing KDE Connect but wanting it to be functionally broken by the firewall, so it seems like the relevant firewall port should be allowed automatically as a post-install step. openSUSE does this, FWIW: https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1175627
