I am on Ubuntu 19.04 and have loved using the excellent functionality of KDE Connect to link my Android phone (Galaxy S9) and computer. However I would also like the protection of a VPN while browsing the internet on both of these devices. Enabling a VPN on both devices does not allow PC/phone to see each other despite being on the same LAN. My question is how do I allow the connection between these two devices outside of the VPN? I am assuming I may need to forward ports or exclude the traffic between these devices from the VPN to make this happen but I cannot figure out how to to do this in Ubuntu 19.04. Any help is greatly appreciated!
I am relatively new to Linux/Ubuntu (so please take it easy on me) and I am trying to install Autokey to use the text expansion functionality. I have tried installing it from the instructions on the Github page here - https://github.com/autokey/autokey#installation
However, no matter whether I follow the installation process under the Ubuntu/Mint/Debian section or the instructions to install via pip I cannot seem to get the program working.
The installation seems to be successful (running a 'which' command gives the path installed) but clicking on the icon does not launch the program.
I have also tried to install directly from Ubuntu/GNOME software manager but that also will not launch the program once installed.
I have tried installing both the GTK and QT frontends and neither will launch. I don't get an error message or anything. I have opened up the System Monitor to see if a process even appears (however briefly) and there's nothing.
Typing autokey-gtk into Terminal gives:
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/autokey/gtkapp.py:24: PyGIWarning: Gtk was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
