Description of Issue -

What is the exact port forwarding error message you see in the Roon Settings → ARC tab?

There should be an option in Roon to turn off Roon ARC. With the majority of consumer routers having UPnP enabled by default, leaving unecessary ports open poses a potential security risk. Having this possibility would not only enhance user control over network configurations but also contribute to a more secure and resilient environment, aligning with best practices in safeguarding against potential cyber threats.

Just set the port for ARC to 0 to achieve that.

Disable ARC in the roon core [not on roadmap, but you can disable the UPnP punch by entering port 0]

Please make button in the settings to enable/disable the ARC functions and let users decide if the want a hole in there firewall. and look at more secure ways to connect to the core an open port is never the solution. sincerely Marco van Leeuwen
