Issue with NordVPN causing Roon server connectivity problem and TIDAL refresh loop (ref#DX89XD)

Hey @Alex_Styles,

Thanks for the additional information and follow-up. If you have successfully added Roon to the allowlist and it is still routed through the VPN, it may be best to contact NordVPN customer support and confirm the issue is not happening on Nords end.

Unable to use Roon Core with VPN

Sounds like NordVPN is blocking local LAN access, especially via multicast discovery pkts. I’d look into a VPN that doesn’t do that. I use Tailscale, which is quite possibly the easiest and most powerful VPN, while also not breaking things. Note that it’s also true VPN software, not a shady service provider that is probably selling your data.
