Online multiplayer requires both parties to download this tool (similar to a gaming platform). Almost all P2P games support acceleration!

This tool is designed to facilitate online multiplayer with friends. Based on the N2N solution, it integrates a tool that allows for easy and direct connection to a virtual LAN without the need for complex configuration. It is convenient, fast, and perfect for my friends who don't know anything about setting up environments.
Principle#
Access the same LAN tunnel to achieve internal network communication (VLAN). Data is relayed by the server.
Note: Both the host and the online party need to enable and connect for it to work!
It is ineffective if only one party enables it.
Usage Scenarios#
Compatible with most P2P multiplayer games on Steam (games where players act as hosts).
Supports Minecraft, Monster Hunter, Stellaris, Dark Souls, Overcooked, ASTRONEER, No Man's Sky, and many more.
Many games have not been tested yet, so please feel free to use and report any issues!

Once both you and your friends have completed the connection, you will have a virtual LAN.
Self-hosted Server#
A self-hosted server is not necessary; you can use the public servers provided by the software.
Using the built-in servers is faster and does not require any configuration.
However, if you have the means and desire to set up your own server, you can follow the N2N installation instructions.
Adding Custom Servers to the Software (Self-hosted)#
If you are willing to make your self-hosted N2N server public, you can contact me via QQ: 2968608803, and I will add your server to the list.
Finally, please note that while using a server for relaying purposes, stability and availability cannot be guaranteed. However, it ensures a perfect online multiplayer experience for me and my friends!
