Thanks both. I completely agree about avoiding a generic "Swiss army knife" with lots of special cases. That wasn't really what I had in mind either.

My suggestion was specifically a dedicated Roon/SOOD reflector, but only if the protocol fits cleanly within Netflector's existing model of explicitly supported discovery protocols such as mDNS, SSDP and WSD.

I mentioned the source-IP and WireGuard/roadwarrior details mainly so that, if Roon support is investigated, the important part of the use case is known from the start. If implementing that would require too many Roon-specific exceptions, keeping a dedicated tool such as udp-proxy-2020 or RoonBroadcastRelay is of course perfectly reasonable.

If it does fit, I'd be happy to test a development version on OPNsense with Roon across a WireGuard roadwarrior connection.

Thanks for the insight. I will definitely get familiar with the Roon/RAAT before making a decision. So far, everything netflector supports (except WSD) is something I actually use in my setup. WSD was added mostly because of its similarity to what I had already implemented by then.
