Syncthing-Fork can't send broadcast mDNS packets on Android 11. As a result, two Android 11 devices can't even connect to each other over a LAN, and are reduced to sending all traffic to the Internet and back, which wastes bandwidth, probably hurts privacy, and throttles transfer speeds. The workaround I found was to hard-code one device's IP address in the other. Perhaps Syncthing is unaffected; I didn't test.

- aasasd 5y agoHmmm, I guess it only affects discovery between phones, because I just recently re-set up syncing with two laptops, and it worked fine without entering the IDs or ips or anything—just clicked on the discovered IDs. Of course, this issue still highlights how the ‘open-source’ and ‘customizable’ OS does only what Google allows it to do.
