I like the idea but I could never get KDE connect to work over VPN :(
Comment on Google's interpretation of Apple's AirDrop, Nearby Share, is now officially out of beta for Windows.

friendly reminder that KDE Connect is a thing, and that it works between multiple platforms and lets you do much more than just copy the files over the network.

works fine with Mullvad for me, I just had to enable “local network sharing” in Mullvad app’s settings. using split tunneling to exclude KDE Connect from routing through VPN would most likely work, too.

so does that mean that the connection between your phone and PC (for example) established by KDE connect can be seen by your ISP?

no.

And it is open-source, and not dependent on Google who might just kill this feature in the future anyway.
