You need to go to settings/privacy&security/local network and toggle the Roon entries off then back on. Then quit Roon server by clicking on the menu bar item and choose quit, then once Roon server has closed, reopen the Roon app. This forces Roon to rescan the network for devices. Your devices should then reappear (do for me every time)

And do NOT reboot during this process.

Hello @Hugo_Sanchez ,

Please try the process @Rugby noted and let us know it helps, thanks!

The workaround seems to be needed every time the mac boots, at least, for my case, so I decided to let it on with roon all the time until its solved.

You are correct, in over 90% of the cases of rebooting your mac, access to local network devices will be forbidden by Sequoia. For users who have a mac dedicated to Roon best to leave it permanently on. For those who like to shut down their mac overnight then this process (in my experience 9 out of 10 times) will be required after a restart.

It seems like, after a reboot, the system in Sequoia to permit access to local network devices for those who experience this issue either does not start, crashes or freezes during the start-up process. Toggling off and on the Roon entries in local network seems to force a restart of the access permission system. Then closing and reopening the Roon server app forces Roon to re-scan the network so you can regain access to the local network endpoints once access permission has re-started…
