capabilities
client1, bind it on the server or any clientX.how it works
Same fast, secure mesh underneath — you only choose how your traffic crosses it: plain exposed ports, or the OpenVPN layer for games that still speak LAN broadcast.
No OpenVPN involved
Launch internet-lan-gun on your machines — it enables local port exposure and binding.
Expose a port on client1, bind it on the server or any clientX. TCP/UDP services, apps and databases cross machines — no cloud routing.
If it connects by IP, this is all it takes — the game or tool aims at the node's virtual IP (shown by status).
OpenVPN used here
Launch internet-lan-gun to bring up your network bridge.
🪟 Windows (OpenVPN GUI): import the internet-lan-gun.ovpn profile — drag it onto the tray icon (or tray menu → Import) — then right-click → Connect.
🐧 Linux / 🍎 macOS: sudo openvpn --config internet-lan-gun.conf
Broadcast titles — Warcraft III, StarCraft, Diablo II, CS 1.6, Red Alert 2, AoE II — discover each other via broadcast packets. The OpenVPN profile supplies them; Internet LAN Gun keeps the transfer fast and secure. A game with a connect command? That's path A — skip OpenVPN entirely.
💻 Linux & macOS console mode: when there's no graphical output, start both server and client with --cli; the client takes --host ip[:port] (default port 51820).
real output
On Linux and macOS the engine also runs headless. Real startup and status output from a 32-node network — one gateway host, every other machine a virtual peer.

RESULT: 127.0.0.1:1194 → tunnelled to the gateway — any local tool can connect
💡 Games with a connect command skip OpenVPN entirely: expose the port, aim the game at the node's virtual IP (shown by status). Broadcast-discovery titles get the included OpenVPN profile for the packets they need.
proxy mode
Any peer in your network can relay your traffic. Pick the peer, let it allow VPN traffic through its machine, and point your apps at a local SOCKS5 proxy — no extra software, no cloud hop. Your machines only.
Open Internet LAN Gun and choose the peer name whose connection you want to route through — e.g. Cleveland_Brown.
On that peer machine, tick "Internet LAN Gun allowed VPN traffic through your machine" and confirm the prompt.
Set 127.0.0.1:10808 as the SOCKS5 proxy in your browser, app or shell. Traffic now leaves through the peer.
# Outgoing IP must now be the peer's public IP:
$ curl --socks5 127.0.0.1:10808 https://ifconfig.me
203.0.113.77
# UDP ASSOCIATE check — DNS-over-SOCKS5 relayed via the peer:
$ echo -ne '\x04\x08\x08\x08\x08\x00\x35\x12\x34\x01\x00\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x06google\x03com\x00\x00\x01\x00\x01' \

00000010: 6f6f 676c 6503 636f 6d00 0001 0001 oogle.com....
💡 Works with any SOCKS5-capable app: browser proxy settings, curl --socks5, ALL_PROXY=socks5://127.0.0.1:10808. UDP is relayed too, so DNS lookups also leave through the peer.
the differentiators
Most virtual networks are tunnels, not a LAN. This one ships with OpenVPN broadcast support — so Diablo II and Warcraft III still find each other the way they were built to, while the transfer underneath stays fast and secure.
€10 per node. A single payment — no monthly bill, no renewal, no feature paywalls. Your node names and layout stay yours, delivered as one zip and its password.
who it's for
“Set up my whole old LAN crew in an afternoon. It's like the internet remembers the local area.”
“Broadcast support is the killer feature. Games just… find each other. No config wizardry.”
“Clean way to expose a service between two machines without opening a port to the world.”

faq
No — never. You give us an email, we hand you an order ID, and that pair is all that exists. Downloads require exactly those two things, and the package itself is a zip file plus its extraction password. No login, no dashboard, no password of your own to manage.
After your order is received and payment matched, our delivery service builds your network package and drops it next to your order. It then appears on My orders — you enter your email + full order ID, we show you the archive password with a copy button, and the zip starts downloading.
A normal VPN is a big tunnel: all of your traffic detours through a gateway. Internet LAN Gun is targeted — a fast, secure network between your own machines over the internet, exposing exactly the ports you need. Games (and services) with a 'connect' command need just that. Broadcast-discovery games are the exception: your package includes an OpenVPN configuration that provides the broadcast packets they rely on.
You configure the server once; clients connect to it. You don't manage raw port rules for every app — Internet LAN Gun handles the exposure and binding.
Yes — €10 per node, a single payment. No monthly fee, no renewal, no subscription. Your node names and layout stay yours.
Windows, Linux and macOS — natively. Linux and macOS also have a console mode (--cli) for headless machines: ./internet_lan_gun_Cupid --cli --host 192.168.7.204 --listening_port 51821. Inside the console: status, peers, live port binding.
No — the count is final once your network is built. Your security data never passes through us and we keep no central copy (that's the point), so there is no mechanism on our side to admit new peers after delivery. Expecting the team to grow? Order the extra nodes up front — €10 each, one-time.
