Description of Issue
Sometimes when I run the Roon Remote app on the iPhone, the iPhone itself does not appear in the list of playback devices. Eventually it comes back. I haven’t been able yet to work out any pattern as to when it goes away or comes back, I thought it was happening when I change the iPhone output device (e.g. attach bluetooth headphones) but haven’t been able to reliably reproduce.
@support It looks like this is happening after connecting to the TailScale VPN as described here. There is another report in that thread of the same problem.
In case it’s not completely clear: the iPhone is not appearing as an output on the iPhone itself, it’s disappeared from the list of available output devices in the settings in the app running on the iPhone
As the post you’ve linked shows VPN is not officially supported by Roon. If you completely disable the VPN, is your iPhone still disappearing as an audio zone?
