I have a roon core configured on macOS Monterey, but when I enable the Firewall, roon compatible devices on the network are no longer recognized. (It will be recognized if it is disabled) I think this is a bad specification for security.
Open a pinhole for roon.exe and raatserver.exe

The true meaning of your opinion is unknown.
Add firewall exceptions in accordance with the following:

Of course, I read these and make suggestions.
.exe cannot be run on macOS.
There’s a nice table in the doc linked above that tells you what apps to exclude from the firewall on a Mac. To do so, go to System Preferences>Security & Privacy, select the Firewall tab, click the padlock item lower-left, unlock it with password or fingerprint, select Firewall Options, and add the apps that the table in the doc asks you to add using the ‘+’ at the bottom of the app list.

I see. Thanks for the detailed explanation.
However, I couldn’t find raatserver.app in my application folder only with roon.app.
I think that’s because you downloaded Roon, not the RoonServer (https://download.roonlabs.net/builds/RoonServer.dmg) which is what you want if you are planning to use your Mac as a Roon Core. If you look inside that package with Show Package Contents, you’ll see RoonAppliance.app and RAATServer.app.

Thank you for your advice.
“RoonAppliance.app and RAATServer.app” was found after installing the roon server.
Also, as a side effect, the sound quality has been improved.
