Hahaha, nice one Kit Fisto.

That shouldn't be a problem since the only people who could play on it would have to have a 8 year old game.

You didn't play online much did you?

Here is something:

From the How To section:
Determining whether to use a routed or bridged VPN

I would recommend using routing unless you need a specific feature which requires bridging, such as:

■the VPN needs to be able to handle non-IP protocols such as IPX,
■you are running applications over the VPN which rely on network broadcasts (such as LAN games), or
■you would like to allow browsing of Windows file shares across the VPN without setting up a Samba or WINS server.

So now we know it can deal with game traffic, and needs a bridged(not routed) setup to do so.

Also while I hate to be the bad idea person. This is kind of a bad idea, people have started using Tunngle, I really don't think OS X users would see many PC players using it.

Another thing how do we even know that the LAN coding in SWBF PC is the same as it is on OS X? That could be what kills this idea in the end.

I'm with you on this, SK.

A lot of the configuring of OpenVPN is pretty invasive.

We could use NSIS to make an installer (they have an exaple script for that) and automate some of them, but we would still need to figure out a lot of non admin workarounds for some players in the end. (We already have that issue now.)

Another thing. Hamachi pretty much removes the need for user configurations I have a mesh network setup on it. https://secure.logmein.com/hamachi/ih1.asp?lang=uk&c=7eat24zv6kjxe4wuiy6bqy0ymjgkosx40c014oqj Download this and install it to see what I mean. You download, it installs, you start it up and are all good to go. I stuffed up when installing and trying to test it out the other day. But you get the idea of how much easier it is to use. Only thing is it comes with a yearly fee if you want more than five clients.

I would never use the VPN

Great idea, then we won't be separated between Game Ranger and Tunngle

Can you host like Tunngle?

It does.

Also I'm Hamachi user myself.
