Configure your firewall to work with Sonos

This article will describe how to properly configure your computer’s firewall software for use with Sonos. An unconfigured firewall can cause issues with your Sonos speakers, your music library, or other features like registration or system updates.


Change your firewall settings


Choose your firewall from the list below to see specific configuration steps.


Windows 10
macOS 10.11 and above
Kaspersky Internet / Total Security

McAfee Total Protection
Norton 360


If your firewall isn’t listed, make these adjustments in your firewall settings and then restart the Sonos application. For assistance finding these options, contact the firewall manufacturer.

  • Set the Network or Profile Type to Private, Home, or Trusted.
  • In the Program or Application rules, set the access for the Sonos application to Allowed.
