EDITED: Sorry; again I've got things working.

Okey great :)

Yes, sorry; I found the instructions (here on github) hard to understand, but I got things working eventually. That said, (1) I could get the systemd user approach to work (on my Linux Mint computer; I got the service running but no Android notifications arrived), but that's OK because I can simply add the program to my user's autostart list. Also, (2) the program does not seem to work when my phone is on a vpn (though the Linux computer being on a vpn causes no problem).

Finally: you might want to consider specifying what firewall rule(s) people would need - that was one of the thing I had to work out.

Thank you for the software.

Yea the instructions might need some work. And also about firewall rules. Im open to suggestions and pull requests :)

I use the app "OpenVPN for Android" and with that app you can say to bypass the vpn for LAN connections and it works. So the problem with VPN on phone might depend on what type of VPN and what app is used. Otherwise it might try to connect to a local ip (if you are using that) through the VPN, which will not work.
