Roon Remote and Tailscale?

[Abrahams_Bogere (Abe)]

Does Roon Remote work with Tailscale too or is just Arc? I tried it yesterday and it didn’t work.

Success with Tailscale VPN

This might be of interest to anyone who’s been struggling to get Roon working over a VPN. I installed Tailscale VPN on my roon server and on my iPhone… and it just worked. No extra configuration or tinkering required. Roon Remote auto-detection and streaming work over the VPN connection. Tailscale is a commercial VPN based on Wireguard, it’s free for personal use. I’ve found it to be excellent. https://tailscale.com

Thanks I’ll check it out. I was definitely curious, I will definitely say Arc is working very well with it.

I would be keen to know if and how you were able to get Roon Remote to work via Tailscale.
Thanks

It doesn’t reliably for playback via the device. But it works fine as a remote.

No I actually went to a NUC earlier this year and the Mac mini I have for some reason I can’t bridge it to run Tailscale for Arc or Remote.

By the way NUC was the greatest move I’ve done for Roon.

so
Roon Core > Tailscale > iOS > roon-remote = Doesnt work properly for Playback but the core is still accessable and you are able to use your iOS device as classic remote, right?

Yep that’s about the crux of it. It may or may not work as a zone as well but it’s so intermittent due to ports changing that I would not trust it to work when you want it to. For ARC works perfectly fine as it uses a different audio system
