For a user with a firewall enabled, it's not obvious that kdeconnect won't discover or be discovered by a kdeconnect-ready device, or why that happens when it does. It would be a kindness to inform users, post-install, that kdeconnect requires open tcp/udp ports 1714:1764.
This task depends upon

It would seem pretty obvious to me that if you're running a firewall like that, you would know that you would need to open it up for a network discovery enabled program. This seems more like Wiki information that post-install information.
