Anyone tried running Roon ARC over AirVPN?

Hi

Don't know how many members off the community use Roon, but it's basically music library management with a SAS business model. One runs a server with the Roon core and listen to music on various devices on the LAN

Roon has a new facility, called ARC. Essentially ARC on your phone connects to your Roon core at home and streams from there. So port forwarding is needed and a number of users, like me, are unkeen on punching holes in our FWs

So I'm looking to run ARC over AirVPN using the port forwarding option available and see how I get on

Has anyone else had a go with this or something similar?

Cheers

No difference to BitTorrent clients, I believe. Though, if the ports are hardcoded, not sure if this will work.

Port can be selected so I'll find a HowTo for torrent clients and copy that

Thank you

It works

Connected using hummingbird (no joy with Eddie-cli for some reason), forwarded the appropriate port in client area and Ta Da !!

Very straightforward truth be told

Hi. 
Could you provide an idiot's guide. I'm super keen to use ARC.
