Hi guys,

I have multiple subnets on my network. One is LAN (172.16.0.0/24) another is WIFI (172.16.1.0/24). When I use Spotify, I can select the device where I want the music play, but it only shows the device that are in the same subnet. Same issue when Windows search printer in the network. Is there a way in opnsense to enable these searches to find device in other subnet?

Thanks


These services use broad- or multicast services like mdns that are restricted to the local subnet. A router is the border of the broadcast domain. You need external tools (plugins) like multicast proxies, etc. to forward these broadcasts between subnets.

Try the UDPBroadcastRelay beta plugin.
