[Feature]: Airplay receiver is on #107

Closed niteobot closed 2 years ago

What happened?

"Airplay receiver is on" appears as orange (unsafe), but I have to use Airplay for my Sonos speakers on my Macbook (M1 2020, 16 GB + macOS Monterey 12.1) Is this safety measure really necessary or can I let it on?

Version

1.6.33 4087

You might ask if this is really required. Well, CIS says any service that makes your computer open for connections should be disabled when not in use. This is also the recommendation of other people in the security field. Hence, the check is failing if your airplay receiver is on, so you remember to turn it off when not in use.

The Airplay receiver is different than the sender. The user is explaining the sender. We are warning about the receiver.
