Accessing Roon Core that is not on the local network?

[noris]

Hello @Steve_Davies,

As @ged_hickman1 mentioned for Roon to operate properly, you would need to have the Core and the Roon Remote on the same subnet. Roon cannot operate properly over VPNs becuase VPNs often have limitations to multicast communication causing issues with our discovery process and our RAAT protocol. You can read the following thread where some users have gotten their setup working through a VPN but please note using VPNs is not officially supported by Roon:

Remote connection via VPN - [Resolved] but ongoing discussion

Hi, I am trying to connect to Roon via VPN from my iPad. The vpn is working as I can connect to my network devices - eg RDP into Windows pc’s, access my NAS via web browser on address 192.168.1.xxx. However, when I start The Roon app on my iPad, it does not finds my Roon Core/server. Roon core/server is running on a windows 10 machine with IP 192.168.1.yyy and I can also RDP into that machine. Any advice on what I can do to fix? Thank you, Hammer

Thanks,
Noris
