Homebridge server running on iMac Big Sur cannot be found

[BATman.Berlin]

I had a homebridge server running on my iMac under Catalina with no problem. Now on Big Sur I cannot connect my HomeKit to the server bridge anymore. Accessory cannot be found. Tried different ports and settings, no luck. The server is running fine and grabs all my nest accessories, but I cannot connect it to HomeKit.

I tired to ping my iMac from a laptop on the same wifi and I cannot even get a ping. iMac firewall is completely disabled, but it seems the Mac does not accept incoming connection requests.

Any ideas?

I use for security is three fold! For Blocking Web sites I use OpenDSN.comLittle Snitch[/url] and also for tradition firewall I use the free donationware WaterRoof.

Then when wanting to see overseas videos on YouTube I go with VPN servers although YMMV in your location!
