Virtual Private Networks

DELICIOUS POISON · 01-16-2008, 02:04 AM

I'm trying to use Hamachi to setup a VPN with my brother, so we can play SC without connecting to the battle.net servers. It's going pretty well, but I have just found out that the newest versions (1.0.2.x) have issues with many games, and I've got to downgrade to 1.0.1.5

Anyone else try to setup a VPN? They're a pain if you're inexperienced with networking like I am, but very cool.

My friends set one up so we could play a few games of Warcraft III. It was OpenVPN, and my friend's a IT guru, so it wasn't too bad. I think my ISP (Rogers, boo) is throttling VPN speeds though, because people have been using it for completely legitimate bittorrents.

Of course they have. It's not the ISP's responsibility to guard software copyrights, anyway.
