I also have a Heltec v4 like the author, and TCP fits my usecase much more, when I simply want to keep the device always plugged in, connected to my wifi, and just sometimes connect to it remotely from a computer.

I made a tiny PR as a proof of concept if you want to try connecting like that now.

BTW, if you're wondering how to get wifi on your heltec v4, you could modify the firmware source code yourself, but I also found this tool where you enter your SSID and password and it generates a patch image that you can flash onto your device (flash without deleting).

Thanks! I will take a look soon -- please give me a couple of days as now I swamped with handling DM delivery confirmations which is pretty problematic to test. I will let you know.
