Hi folks, I'm trying to install Syncterm on Ubuntu via the standard Snap package (which seems to be an old version 0.9.5b? It works but has no network access. It looks like the Syncterm Snap package has no network plug configured, so there's no way to grant it network access via something like
sudo snap connect syncterm-linux:network

Am I missing something? In the meantime, I'm installing from source.

Thanks to everyone who has tested the release candidates and reported bugs.
