BUG:CLI AllowLANTraffic toggle blocks LAN/SSDP #290

@willhubs

Description

@willhubs

Using the documented AllowLANTraffic toggle does not allow SSDP. https://github.com/Windscribe/Desktop-App/wiki/Linux-CLI-configuration-file-reference

The Windscribe CLI firewall blocks SSDP/multicast like it’s guarding state secrets.

Image

Linux CLI v2.20.4-alpha

To Reproduce
Enable AllowLANTraffic toggle in config
Enable firewall
Try to detect TV/printer/chromecast
fails

Expected behavior
AllowLANTraffic toggle allows SSDP, or:

Maybe an additional setting in the CLI config like allow_ssdp=true that lets multicast packets survive the firewall. That way our Chromecasts, TVs, printers, and weird IoT junk can exist without dropping the firewall entirely.
