Run ROCK on NUC Elements?

IP forwarding doesn’t work for the vast majority of commercial streamers as they don’t allow you to set their IP address manually.

That’s what I wrote. And it’s a shame because it’s simple for manufacturers to add this option.

@Henry_McLeod

I don’t see that as better!

This offloads the streamer from parasitic traffic in the local network unnecessary to play audio - the streamer “communicates” only with Roon server.

@danny

This setup is better than the br0 setup because you aren’t actually linking the 2 networks – in fact, your renderer can’t even talk to the internet in the above setup, nor can it talk to your iPad, or anything else on the network EXCEPT RoonServer on the NUC. Complete IP traffic isolation.

How do you update a streamer if it is on its own subnet and has no internet access?

Change the subnet in the router settings so that the streamer gets access to the Internet during the update. - I suppose you do not update the streamer every day?
