Roon Message “Metadata Paused”

[Gary_Downs]

Increased performance, security from DNS change to 1.1.1.1

Just type 1.1.1.1 into your Internet browser and it’ll prompt you on how to change the settings for that particular device. I just did this on my iPhone, Win10 computer (where Roon core resides) and iPad and my browsing is significantly quicker. Plus, Roon seems to load and react much more quickly. Don’t take my word, however, read the var…
