Description
I've updated my Pixel 9 to Android 17, but have noticed that Wallabag is not syncing, while on the local network.
The error is:
```
Connection test failed
Unknown error: failed to connect to wallabag.domain.com/192.168.x.xx (port 443) from /192.168.y.y (port 409010) after 10000ms
```
When not connected to my local network, everything works fine.
Also, the Wallabagger extension in Vivaldi (/Chrome) works without issue as well.
I _think_ this might be caused by the new permissions that Google added to Android 17, where you need "Local network access" (https://developer.android.com/privacy-and-security/local-network-permission) permission.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the connection test and sync failure on a Pixel 9 running Android 17 while connected to the local network. Read the Android local network permission guidance linked in the issue and trace the connection-test entry point; done means local-network sync succeeds while remote-network behavior remains working.
