What's your favorite Roon Remote device..and why?

I posted last week saying that my favourite was any remote that worked. So it appears that someone else has been experiencing the same issue I have since Roon 2.0 as outlined in this thread:

Has anyone else had experience with this happening?

As I have explained I’m just using the workaround of manually turning off VPN, connecting remote and then turning VPN back on, but if anyone has a more permanent fix, I would love to hear it. Thanks in advance.
