Description of Issue
I want to run Roon at Work Office (192.168.90.x) and attach to Roon server at Home Office (192.168.99.20).
Because Roon server is not on same subnet as Work office network, I am unable to attach to it.
Is there a way I can hardcode Roon to see the server at 192.168.99.20?
@Binh_Tong, Roon requires all Roon devices (the Core, all Remotes, and all endpoints) to be on the same subnet. VPNs are not a supported configuration except for some instances in supporting Roon ARC over mobile connections.
I have moved your post to the Tinkering category where other users with VPN experience may provide some ideas or options for you.
good day
i have Arc running already on my iPhone, this is working fine
I have a feeling that Arc may down scale resolution …
I just want to run Roon Player at work ( on my PC ) on subnet 192.168.90.x and attach to my Roon server on 192.168.99.20
I spend a lot of time on my other work PC ( on subnet 192.168.90.x ) and just want to run Roon and attach this to Roon server ( 192.168.99.20 )
IPSEC tunnel is full time - no blocking of any kind for traffic,
this tunnel is extremely fast , 400Mbps
I would not say there is a loss of resolution or sound quality using Arc. On an iPhone it’ll output bit perfect from the lightning port (unsure about iPhone 15). Using the Apple lightning camera connection kit you can hook up you iPhone to a USB DAC and so on.
However
It’s difficult to advise on possibilities as we do not know your network equipment or you knowledge of Linux.
If it were me, based on success, I’d install Linux Ubuntu Server on my machine intended to be the Roon Core/Server. Install Roon server for Linux following Roon’s guide.
On the same machine as Roon Server I’d install the below VPN method.
Let us know if this option might be suitable for you.
If you have enterprise or pro-consuner grade network equipment, like Ubiquity Unifi, you can set up a S2S VPN. Both methods have worked for me, but I thought it was smoother operating with the first option.
There are no feelings involved, just physics and software implementation (math, essentially). ARC can stream the original files. There is a setting whether it should do that or downsample/compress.
yes,
thanks for your suggestion
I can find settings in Arc for streaming quality.
unfortunately, Arc is for mobile devices only
What I need is ability to run Roon ( client ) on my PC (Site 1 ) and attach to Roon server ( Site 2)
site 1 and Site 1 permanent VPN with 400Mbps capacity
