Cannot discover other devices about localsend

I share from my Android phone's hotspot to Linux without any issue. But I want to add that, if the phone is connecting to VPN, sharing via hotspot won't work.

It took me a while to figure that 😂

Edit:
Looking at this https://github.com/localsend/protocol#31-multicast-udp-default. This is how it's work, it means it's already works this way. So, this comment is to be ignored

Original post:

Sometimes the a device takes a while to discover the other one.

• Say, there's Device GoodPhone and BadPhone.
• Device GoodPhone detects BadPhone almost immediately, but BadPhone takes a while to detect GoodPhone.
• So, as soon as BadPhone is found on GoodPhone, can GoodPhone ping BadPhone that "hey, i found you. my ip address is 192.xx.xx.xx"?
• Now BadPhone got the IP of GoodPhone and BadPhone don't need to scan entire to find GoodPhone
• At the end, both device 'find' each other at same time.

Is something like this possible? Wouldn't this make device detection faster?

I had a problem recently. localsend on the physical machine cannot detect localsend on the virtual machine. First I started localsend on my desktop machine, then I started the virtual machine on the desktop and started localsend in the virtual machine. But they can't detect each other, I'm using bridge mode, ping can communicate. And the firewall has been cleared. To test the problem, I turned localsend on again on my laptop, and both he and the desktop could find each other, but they still couldn't find localsend on the virtual machine. I then enabled a virtual machine in my notebook as well and turned on localsend. VMS on two different physical machines can discover each other. But they were unable to discover the physical machine. They're all in bridge mode, they're all on the same LAN, and ping works fine. Why is that?

One more note: Both virtual machines and physical machines can detect localsend on the phone normally
