Add "trusted networks" feature
triallax opened this issue · comments
Describe your request
When I'm connected to some kind of public Wi-Fi network (which I avoid most of the time but sometimes have to do anyway), I'd really rather that GSConnect not be enabled, in case of some potential security vulnerability that bad actors might try to exploit. The only Wi-Fi network on which I want GSConnect to be enabled is my home one.
Proposed solution
KDE Connect (at least the Android app) provides a "trusted networks" feature. If enabled, users manually choose certain networks, only on which KDE Connect will connect.
Alternatives
I might be able to cook up some firewall rule to block any GSConnect connections when not using my home network, but I haven't taken a look at how to do that yet.
GSConnect version
56 (packaged myself in chimera-linux/cports#1223, not in the repos yet)
Installed from
OS package manager
GNOME Shell version
45.2
Linux distribution/release
Chimera Linux
Additional context
No response
should this be handled in GSConnect or with whatever firewall is being used? (deny connections to port while on untrusted network)?
