    There is not currently a backend for KDE Connect to communicate
    directly over USB. USB Tethering sets up an IP network over USB, so
    it works the same as KDE Connect over wifi/Ethernet, and should
    require no additional configuration (provided your firewall doesn't
    block that as well)<br>
    <br>
    We are working on a raw Bluetooth backend, but that is still a bit
    away from being ready<br>
    <br>
    The information for configuring a firewall for KDE Connect is on our
    wiki, if you decide to go that route:
