a subscription is essentially the client saying to the server "i would
like to have your notifications forwarded to me" and thus the behavior
on the server it to add the client to its own list of forward
destinations. there is no other magic, so if you manually added the
client to the server's list of forwarded destinations, it would work
exactly the same as a subscription (well, except that if the client
goes offline, the subscription is revoked until it comes online again,
whereas a manually-entered forward setting would persist whether the
client were online or not).
I think that some people assume that a 'subscription' allows the
client to open the connection (outgoing) and that the server will then
use that open connection to send the notifications over (which would
be a good feature), but that is not how it works. Since a subscription
is really just a 'hey, forward to me too!' request, all of the normal
forwarding restrictions still apply.
I'm not 100% sure what did it but my best guess is that it was user
error. Subscribing to the pc from the phone adds the phone to the
forward list in networks but it does not turn on forwarding. Possibly
I initially didn't turn on forwarding.
I also needed to add a port forward on my wifi router. You will need
to do that if your pc is not on wifi.
2 Strange things , the forward to the phone seems to disappear after a
couple of moments. If this is happening add one manually yourself and
see if it lasts longer. The Android app force closed a couple of times
before I started receiving messages. I'm not sure of the significance
of that.
The stacktrace for when it crashes is below. Otherwise it seems to
work for me now.
