@jrlanglois That would be awesome thank you! If you get any updates on this, please post here! I would also be interested if you had a public link to the code as well.

I have also stumbled across [Bonjour/ZeroConf](https://developer.apple.com/bonjour/) for automatic network configuration which is [used by other OSC apps such as TouchOSC to make an OSC connection automatically](https://hexler.net/docs/touchosc-configuration-connections-osc), which would be more ideal for my application than displaying IPs and ports.

I also found a [forum post which requests Bonjour as a feature in JUCE](https://forum.juce.com/t/bonjour-is-there-support-in-juce-has-anyone-used-it/16373). I think this would be a great feature. Anyone already using Bonjour with JUCE in a cross platform way? @jrlanglois have you done stuff with Bonjour before?
