Need help connecting iPad to my Linux system, it’s just stuck on connecting Any help would be appreciated if not I guess I’ll have to abandon Roon sadly :face_with_diagonal_mouth:

I would first deactivate the firewall and check if Roon works this way, else it’s easy to start chasing ghosts

Yeah they are both on the same sub net The first 6 numbers are the same

And yeah the iPad is allowed local connection if that’s what you mean :slightly_smiling_face:

The ip address for both devices are different 192.168.0.48 192.168.0.32 They both have the same subnet mask 255.255.255.0

It connected straight away [after I disabled the firewall] so obviously it’s my firewall I just got no clue what is wrong with it.

Hi @anon80500944 , Roon relies on dynamic port negotiation for its suite of network-based protocols. This covers a wide and shifting range of ports. Although the rules in your screenshot capture most multicast traffic for Roon, it’s exceedingly difficult to create static port safelists for each serv…
