Hamachi - LAN program that fix router/firewall issues.

Can't play MP because of router/firewall issues?

With Hamachi you can organize two or more computers with an Internet connection into their own virtual network for direct secure communication.

"Hamachi is fast, secure and simple. It is also free."

Perhaps this will make the game more stable aswell, even less lag?
Oh, and it does work. I tried it with Archduke, he could join my EU2 LAN game despite having problems with his firewall.

Only the host and the player with firewall issues needs to install the program, the rest can play as normal.

Interesting.

Did you test it with both Archduke joining you and someone without Hamachi?

Some of the players in the Balance of Power game have been using this. I believe that Drake and HolisticGod have been linked with hamachi for a few sessions, now. You might ask them their experience with it.

Only Archduke joined.
But what DSY said.

Eh? It works if only the host and firewall-cursed client have it?

This brings gladness to my heart,
for I am among the accursed.
The wall of fire and the router of doom
have barred Eu2 from my dorm room.

hehe, cute.

It works for everyone, it's enough if only the host and the player with firewall issues have it installed though.
