I have saved the MSI Afterburner app for Android, which is intended to let me overclock and monitor my PC from my phone (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.msi.a...).
I followed all the installation steps: I downloaded the app, set up the remote server on my PC, ensured the IP matches between the PC and the app, as well as the security key, and created an inbound firewall rule for the chosen port on both devices.
However, when I click overclock/monitor inside the app, it displays "Unable to connect to MSI Afterburner host."
Could anyone with experience in this app assist me?

I've used the app on my iPhone.
It functions for me, but in the remote server icon at the bottom left, right-click it and verify that your port number aligns with the one on your phone.
Also ensure MSI AB is active and operating correctly.
With your IP address, confirm it's your local IP. If you open the Start menu, type in CMD.
Then enter ipconfig.
Check the adapter connected to your router and note its IPv4 address.
It should match your IP on the server and your phone.
Good luck!

Raven A shared their experience with the MSI Afterburner app for Android, explaining they followed all installation steps and set up the necessary connections. However, when trying to access overclock/monitor mode, they encountered a connection issue stating "Unable to connect to MSI Afterburner host." They are seeking advice from others who might have faced similar problems. They noted that the remote server on their Android device should function as a control interface for the PC program, but the app itself appears to be missing or incomplete. They also mentioned that downloading the PC software was correct, but the remote setup was not properly configured.
