Hey everyone, I’ve been running into a strange network timeout issue on my Android setup and was hoping someone here might have seen something similar. I use a dedicated Android tablet on my local network to manage a few smart home companion dashboards alongside some testing tools I grabbed from this website for running custom automation scripts.
Ever since setting that up, my local bridge discovery keeps failing with UDP broadcast timeouts whenever both background processes are active. It looks like the background daemon or local proxy is either binding to the same local broadcast ports or interfering with mDNS packet routing across the subnet.
On top of the discovery drops, I’m also getting intermittent SSL handshake resets whenever local REST endpoints are queried, and everything only returns to normal after completely killing the background services and resetting the Wi-Fi adapter. Has anyone dealt with third-party background services hijacking local broadcast ports like this, and is there a clean way to isolate the network traffic or force static routing so these processes stop breaking local device communication?
