LocalSend configuration with Yast Firewall

i installed LocalSend to share files to nearby devices.
i connected to my android hotspot, i was able to send from linux to android, but i wasn’t able to send to linux nor detect it from my android
i figured it might be a firewall problem (im such a noob when it comes to that), i went and i tried to find localsend service in the “Public” zone, but i coudn’t find it
so i allowed all services, localsend started working after that but i dont want to allow everything each time i want to use the program
does anyone have an idea what specifique service(s) i should keep allowed in order to have locasend being able to recieve files from my android?

Does this help?

thx it worked. most tutorials i have seen used firewall-config so i had to install it cuz i didnt know how to do with yast firewall

The YaST Firewall utility only allows for basic configuration of firewalld. The native utilties (firewall-cli and firewall-config) are preferred for more advanced configuration and management of firewalld due to their greater flexibility and feature set.
