I was able to not get an error for no windows support by downloading the pre-release dev release build version:

However, even after enabling all firewall options for both in-bound and outbound for UDP port 4242, I am not able to get a Windows 10 PC A <---> Windows 10 PC B connection between my PC and laptop on my home network

Here is a screenshot of my firewall rules for inbound:

Here is for outbound:

Here is what I have set for my connection from PC A (minus the hostname):

Also, I noticed when attempting to fill in the form when the GUI is not MAX window size, it gets somewhat not viewable or distorted. The image below is what I see (or don't see):

Yeah I haven't made a release yet because there's still some minor issues with windows input capture.

As for the broken UI, you can get it to work correctly by compiling from source until I figure out where to put the icons in order to be displayed correctly.

@ZhangSanMo How are you running this? I must be missing something on my windows machines. I connect but nothing happens. Do I need to toggle on both the host and client machine?

@feschber and thanks for the suggestion and great repo. I can be patient for the kinks to be worked out for windows. I might try and compile from source to finally give rust a try.

@kyrlon there is an issue with the dns-resolver on windows, make sure you wait long enough (until it shows something like 2024-04-26T13:30:07Z INFO lan_mouse::dns] iridium: adding ip 192.168.178.141 in the log)
