UDP Games via openvpn/tinc
Hey guys - I have the following problem. Maybe someone here can help me figure out whats wrong...
I used tinc to run a small VPN to play LAN games with friends. On WinXP this was working just fine. On Win7, I can still ping all members and access their shared folders, but I can't see any udp-based lan games they create. It works only as long as one of the players is running XP and can be the game host.
Now, here's what I tried so far:
- Installed various VPN solutions (tinc hamachi openvpn tunggle)
- Disabled all firewalls
- launched games with forcebindIP to make sure they are using the VPN
- Still added all the firewall rules needed, just to make sure.
To rule out router problems we also connected to the vpn directly via dial up dsl-modem with no success.
It's always the same scenario: two win7 systems can't see each others games while ping and file system access are working fine.
Now my temporary solution is to use my virtual windows XP mode as the game host - but it would be nice to get it running again.
Hope you guys can help.
