I have a Traefik instance behind Cloudflare and multiple local security applications. I would much prefer to be able to create something like roon.my_domain.com and point ARC to that instead of opening an unnecessary hole in my home network by blindly forwarding all traffic on that port to my Roon Core machine.
Yes, there are ways around this but it wouldn’t be ideal. I would greatly appreciate if a way to specify a target domain was added to ARC to override/supplement the current default of targeting an IP.
You got my vote.
I spent 700$ and I’m not able to listen to my own music, stored in my own server (Roon core), sent through my own network to my own clients just because Roon servers have problems and I cannot specify the IP address of my Roon Core.
This is so frustrating and completely non-sense.
Bumping this because it’s been 9 months and this still isn’t possible. Why? Port forwarding is a 1990s era solution that isn’t just cumbersome, it’s an unnecessary security vulnerability. Let us choose our own method of NAT traversal, please.
Another bump on this topic. I really want to use Roon ARC but am not comfortable punching a hole in my firewall. I did this before with Plex and lived to regret it, my firewall was hammered with brute force attacks, had to close that port. Cloudflare tunnels are the way to go for this, and it doesn’t seem to be doable with Roon ARC. Please bump this up on the development priority list. Thanks.
+1 to this thread. Why on earth are the good folks at Roon advocating port forwarding. Too dangerous. Please let us configure Roon Arc for use through a domain where we can put proper protection in place.
I agree with the request. Since I have been using a fiber optic provider with CGNAT, ROON ARC no longer works. All of ROON’s efforts have not brought any improvement. Not even the IPv6 changeover. My last hope is now to use an existing server with a public IPv4 address as a reverse proxy. But ROON seems to be failing here too. Too bad, because I really appreciate the functions of ROON and ROON ARC. But what good will that do me if I can no longer use ROON ARC? I’ll look at it for another six months and then I’ll probably cancel with a heavy heart.
