Description
1. Environment
Version: 0.10.1
Device: Xiaomi 2201123G
System: Android 14 (API 34)
2. Describe the bug
I currently use Tailscale to connect to my NAS by hostname ("nas") – this leads to the app crashing when Tailscale isn't turned on.
I'd propose catching the exception (or network exceptions in general) and displaying something like a toast notification about the connection failure.
Version: 0.10.1
Device: Xiaomi 2201123G
System: Android 14 (API 34)

Research direction
Begin with the network call path shown in the stack trace, including okhttp3.Dns and the coroutine running on Dispatchers.IO, then locate the app code that surfaces connection failures. Reproduce the unreachable-host case and verify that the app stays open and displays a connection-failure message instead of crashing.
