What is Bonjour used for by Native Access?

RoystonVasey

I noticed that Bonjour was installed automatically when I installed Native Access 2 (on a newly setup Windows 11 install). Bonjour seems to be blocked from running on current versions of Windows (frequent pop ups saying "This module is blocked from loading into the Local Security Authority" pointing at the file mdnsNSP.dll). Can anyone confirm what it is used for and if I should just uninstall Bonjour, as there doesn't seem to be any workarounds other than Apple releasing an updated version that meets the requirements? Thanks

We , the users , have no information on that. But if you want N.A. to function then you should allow N.A. and it's the access needed.

Since the previous N.A. lead developer left then there has not been anyone with that as specialty that has answered forum questions so you would have to ask N.I. Support (all) but I couldn't guarantee that what answer that you receive will satisfy you…
