I've an android application which has flipper support and I've a flipper desktop app on Windows. Whenever I connect to device through USB, flipper able to recognize my mobile device and shows the app. No issues in that case.

Is it possible to connect to flipper app where pc and mobile device is in different network. If so, can you share me the docs for configuration.

Flipper does not currently support connecting to devices over a network. This is because Flipper uses a USB connection to communicate with devices, and USB connections are not possible over a network. There are a few workarounds that you can use to connect to Flipper over a network. One option is to use a USB over IP (USBIP) server. This will allow you to share your USB devices over a network, and then you can connect to Flipper using the USBIP server. Another option is to use a virtual private network (VPN). This will create a secure connection between your computer and your mobile device, and then you can connect to Flipper using the VPN. Here are some resources that you can use to learn more about connecting to Flipper over a network:
