I run Roon on my iphone without a problem when I am on my LAN at home.
Is there is anyway to do the following:
I connect to my home network from my iphone (when I am on 4g) via the built in VPN client, which connects to my router which has a VPN server and sets up an L2TP connection between the two.
So, my iphone has a public IP and has access to my home LAN as well.
Is there a way for the the Roon client on my phone (public IP) to communicate with the Roon server (LAN subnet)?
Well in these other threads there are always these guys suddenly popping up, that claim that it works on their iPhones and they could even post a guide - but then they miraculously vanish again - with all their wisdom. Ah well that is the internet for you
So, the sad and true answer is, it does not work with ios. I really wished it did.
It worked for a bit for me using Synology HTTPS based VPN to my Synology router and then an update broke it. I donât think there is a 100% guaranteed solution. That said I have seen mention of possible success with the VPN server and core on the same machine.
If only Roon had remote/offline playback capabilities. Itâs been on the planned list for 3 years nowâŚ
I really do not understand why they are so slow at this. It has even been announced that they are working at it. Come on free solutions like LMS can do it and work perfectly together with cheap iPeng.
We live in a very mobile world, where people are on the road, live in hotels, or travel for work etc. Having a licence should give them the possibility to listen to their music, without the folks at home not hearing anything anymore (licence switching) Times have changed, we move around a lot more.
@DrTone, it worked for also using Synology HTTPS based VPN but not now anymore (since about a month ago). You wrote that a update broke it. I am curious which update caused the problems because I do not know.
This is exactly why I also keep JRiver running as a service on my home machine (which also runs the Roon Core). One click with JRemote on my phone or tablet from anywhere and Iâm instantly connected to my home system and my personal library. I can also make that work with iPeng too but it takes just a tad more tweaking.
Also works on my iPhone and I can see the iPhone as audio playback device using the iPad. So if I connect my headphone with the iPhone I can control its playback via the iPad.
Seems it does with iOS18 and iPadOS18. Otherwise the iPhone or iPad would not appear as Audio playback devices.
I tested it during my last days in Berlin and had no trouble at all with playback. My iPhone and iPad were connected via LTE to the internet. But I was not driving.
