Describe the issue

when I open Roon, I get a page that says Connect to your Roon Server. When I click on connect, it takes me to a page where I see the Roon icon and that is where it stays. I can't get past that page.

Hi @Clark_West,

Diagnostics indicate that both Roon Remote and the server have pinged our own cloud servers since you last posted, so this is likely just an issue with the loopback network interface. MacOS will sometimes sever the connection between Roon Remote and Roon Server on the same machine after an update to either the OS or to Roon itself.

If you haven’t already, toggle local network access on for Roon in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Local Network.

Also try disabling any consumer VPNs you might have enabled temporarily.

Let us know if this helps and we’ll proceed with next steps.

I toggled the local network access off and then on and nothing has changed. Is Tailscale a VPN? I do have that on my computer. nothing else that I know of.

Are you available to help Connor?

Hi @Clark_West,

Thanks for the update!

From your account admin, it looks like your Mac running Roon Server has multiple IPs currently active. As a next step, I’d see about disabling all but a single local subnet within your network settings, and see if that helps get you re-connected.

Here is more info on local subnets:

We’ll be monitoring for your reply and results, thank you! :folded_hands:

I’m not sure I can do what you are asking. I found my IP address in network settings, but don’t see any subnets there. this is getting me over my head I fear. I may need you to take me through this in baby steps. I am using a MacBook Air with Tahoe 16.5 OS.

Hi @Clark_West,

No worries — let’s keep this simple! The quickest fix is to do a clean reinstall of Roon.

Here’s what to do:

  1. Quit Roon completely (right-click the Roon icon in the menu bar → Quit)
  2. Uninstall Roon — drag the Roon app from your Applications folder to the Trash
  3. Download and reinstall the latest version from: Download Roon - Mac, Windows, iOS & Android Apps | Free Download
  4. Open Roon and log in

Your music library and settings are stored separately and will not be affected by this.

Let us know if that gets you back in!
