VLC Remote not finding computer

[Yoni Rubin]

I've tried everything in the help article, including disabling the firewall and forwarding ports in my router, but my computer still doesn't appear on the app (iOS). All apps updated, same wifi network.

I had initially configured the remote a few weeks ago and everything worked fine, but now, I can't seem to do anything to make my computer discoverable in the remote app. 

TIA!

I'm currently having the same issue after updating to a new iPhone. In hope of fixing the problem I deleted and reinstalled another copy and  now I'm getting prompted to buy a subscription. I had previously bought one.

Turns out I had a VPN on my iPhone the whole time. Once I disabled it, everything worked.
