KDEConnect vs MozillaVPN

[Simon Redman]

Hi,

I have never looked at Mozilla VPN, but:

Does Mozilla VPN forward all of your traffic across the VPN? Can you 
ping your phone from your computer or your computer from your phone when 
the VPN is connected? Can you SSH?

Have you tried adding the devices by IP manually?

Based on the materials I've found for Mozilla VPN (mostly marketing 
material, not terribly informative), I think the answer to the first 
question is "Yes", meaning for all intents and purposes the devices are 
on different networks, thus "By Design" KDE Connect won't work.

Thanks,
Simon
