if you have ever played a multiplayer
game then you probably have this issue
before you want to play your favorite
game with someone that is not connected
to your house Wi-Fi
through the internet well it is possible
but you normally need to open a port in
your router and that does not always
work depending on your ISP or if you
even have access to the router
it is also not very secure to allow a
port to always be open that's like not
locking a door because tomorrow you will
go through it now A Better Way is to use
tunneling
in this case tunneling is used to bypass
the need of opening the doors instead
using the ones already opened for web
browsers in order to use tunneling your
PC connects with the help of a program
to a reverse proxy which is a server
that manages the connection between you
and the other player
instead of the player connecting
directly to your PC they will in turn
connect to the IP address that the proxy
server has and it reroutes that
connection to your PC through that
software
and there are many tunneling software
out there that one can use many for free
and some even open source there is a
list of them I found called awesome
tunneling that doesn't have all of them
but has most
I've tried c-rock and found it works
fair enough however for gaming I've been
using one called plate.gg
it has little latency and apparently no
artificial bandwidth limit even with the
free version this is the one I would
recommend for that use for gaming and
it's easy to use too all you would need
to get it up and running is to download
the correct executable for your OS and
run it it will appear in a command line
window and give you an ID number and a
link if you click the link it will ask
you to login or create an account though
you can use it with a guest account too
I already have an account so I will just
log in
then you click continue to create a new
agent and you name it as you like
once you see something like this running
in the window it means that you can now
go ahead and create the tunnel
to do that you go to the tunnel section
click add tunnel
and then
you select the protocol that the game
uses and the port if you don't know them
you can check with the documentation of
that specific game
most of the time it is ODP the one you
will need and that's all there is to it
now while the played program is running
in the background every call made to the
link
and Port that play it gives you which is
this one in this case will be rerouted
to to
127.0.0.1 colon the part that you
specified by the way every IP address
starting with one two seven just means
your PC so in this case it is your game
I use plate to play The Descent Source
part dxx rebirth with people on their
internet even though it apparently
should work without it it has not worked
on my network for some reason well I
hope you found this useful see you later
