Question Is it possible to sync Kobo with Komga without connecting to the official API?
Is it possible to sync a Kobo device with Komga without connecting to the official Kobo API server?

I observed that even after configuring the Kobo e-reader's API endpoint with komga, the Kobo device still accesses three official Kobo API:
- api.kobobooks.com
- readingservices.kobo.com
- ereaderfiles.kobo.com

In some regions (e.g., my location), the Kobo e-reader cannot access these domains, making synchronization with Komga impossible.

I want to know if there are modifications I can make to my Kobo device to enable synchronization with Komga even when the above domains are inaccessible.Ideally, I would only need a local network to sync Kobo with Komga.

I'd really appreciate any insights you might have!

Looking at the Komga docs:

"Proxying of unknown requests to the official Kobo servers can be enabled in Server Settings. This is enabled globally for all users on the server."

Sounds like you want to make sure that's disabled on your server.

I have tried this setting, and when the Kobo reader cannot connect to the official Kobo API, whether this setting is turned on or off, it cannot synchronize Kobo and Komga.

Downloading through the browser should be possible, but I'm lazy and hope Kobo can automatically sync with Komga.
