macOS Roon Remote audio sources intermittently disappear when on different subnet

[noris]

Hi @Matt_Gray ,

Welcome to the forum and thanks for reaching out!

@Matt_Gray

I have two networks:

192.168.X.0/24 ------- laptop | Unifi UDM Pro (firewall) | 192.168.Y.0/24 --±— Roon ROCK | ±— SONOS speakers, etc.

Unfortunately, Roon does not support usage across VLANs or subnets, so that may indeed be the reason why you are running into this behavior, please see our Networking Best Practices Guide for further information regarding this.

Some other users have gotten this to work, but this falls in the #tinkering category, so I have moved your post over here.

You may wish to look over this thread for further suggestions on what other Roon users did to get this operational:

Talking to Roon from another VLAN (I got it working)

So as a networking / systems engineer it really annoyed me that Roon wasn’t reachable between subnets. I won’t go into why I need multiple VLAN’s at home, but it is what it is. I just got it working and it seems stable so far and a quick search in the forums makes me think I’m the only person to document this solution. As always, YMMV. Anyways, my config: Internet <-> pfSense <-> Multiple /24 network segments My Roon core is 172.16.1.100 where my laptop moves between the 172.16.1.0/24 netw…

Thanks!
