If your internal/private network is properly secured, there is no need to separate your Roon Core, Roon Control and Endpoints into a separate network. If all Roon related devices (Core, Control, Endpoint) are separated out on the same network, there shouldn’t be a problem too.
Having Roon devices on different networks is not supported. If you wish to try to make this work, it’s better to move on to the #tinkering section of the forum. Please have a look into this section and/or use the search function to find previous threads about this. I actually can’t remember of any thread where a user posted a successful recipe to achieve it.
Note: Roon discovery uses multicast not broadcast.

I m a new Roon user. I have two networks in my house. I have a secured network - 192.168.1.xxx and an insecure network 192.168.30.xxx.
My wired devices are on the internal secured network together with my servers incl the Roon server and my Nas with music
On my insecure network i have the wireless devices like mobile phones (Roon controllers) and Chromecasts.
Now the Roon server (ubuntu 18.04 LTS VM) discovers all the devices on the secure network but it cannot discover my Chromecasts on the …
Good morning!
I am sorry if this has been asked for prior to my post.
I would like to ask if you are working on a feature which would allow access to the Core and Tidal via the internet, not requiring for Remotes to be on the same network as the Core? Streaming from the Core for own files and direct from Tidal to the remote OR taking all data from the Core?
At the moment, I feel a little tied to the core, so to speak. Am running a laptop as my Core, but it’s not ideal. My main PC is located i…
The intent of this request is to use Roon to access my library remotely, meaning outside of my home network or house, and stream my library from either Tidal or my NAS.
I’ve done some research on this and it appears Roon uses UDP 9003 for discovery and TCP 9100-9200 after the Remote has found the Core. I currently use JRiver and JRemote, and by specifying the TCP port in the JRiver media server, setting up port forwarding to that port and media server IP in my home router and using Dynamic DNS…
I have been trying to set up a VPN so that I can use roon when mobile … IT IS DRIVING ME CRAZY … it is very technical and a bit beyond me it seems. is there anything in the pipeline so that you can connect roon remotely from say, a mobile network?
Apologies for posting this, I saw a few related posts in the past on a similar topic, but I would love to ask that remote access from out-of-network locations be included as a feature to be added. After the investment in the Roon setup, having access to my music from anywhere, from either client desktops or mobile or any other tool, would be an incredible upgrade to my experience.
Thanks
