Intro

VPN Gaming is a method of playing Local Area Network games with people across the internet. It utilizes Virtual Private Networking to facilitate the connection from Client to Game Server. The downside to VPN Gaming is that it is hard to find players who are interested in playing with you on a VPN.

Project Solution

The idea is to create a Master Server Application, which will be hosted on a dedicated machine, and will receive connections from Daemon Servers. The Daemon Servers will send the server's Wippien (VPN) account name to the Master Server, and this information will be given to all game Clients who request the information.

Players will connect to the master server, the master server will send the information to the client, and then the Client will automatically connect via Wippien, to the Daemon Server. The Daemon Server will have all the game servers it is running, visible to the Client after this step.


Progress

  • Master Server - 80%
  • Daemon Server - 80%
  • Game Client - 0%
