Hi, I made this software so I could play with my friends without having to spend money on game servers. Feel free to test it out — down below you can see the games we are supporting.

I will keep on expanding the library. If you wish for a game, ask me on Discord or shoot me an email. Hope you will have fun!

The evening problem

Lowkey I was just kinda sick of having to use mods for multiplayer, having to set up & test mods for what felt like hours before gaming — and always that: either spend money on a server, or do LAN with someone having to be online.

So I made this software so that you get the feeling like you would have paid for a server, while the annoying stuff (NAT, ports, save files, mods) gets handled in the background without stressing you out. With the benefit of just hopping on.

The drawbacks

Free comes with a trade. Nothing hidden — this is what you accept:

  • Somebody's PC is the server. When the person hosting the game goes to bed, the game goes with them — until someone else starts it again. And your ping is your internet: no datacenter in between, exactly as good or bad as your connections are.
  • Everyone needs the app — and their own copy of the game, obviously. Plus the game's own server files, and their size differs per game — search yours:
    • Minecraft~235 MBsupported
    • Project Zomboid6.7 GBsupported
    • SCUM16.5 GBsupported
  • The first start asks for admin rights. It creates a real network adapter on your machine — that's the price of never touching port forwarding.

Still worth it. Here's why

Here's how it works

Three PCs joined by an encrypted tunnel; the world runs on whichever is online and moves along; the modpack travels with the session; an optional server of your own keeps the world while everyone is asleep.encrypted tunnelno port forwardingyouAlexSamworld · running at Alex'sfollows whoever is onlinemodpackrides alongserver — optionalkeeps the world while everyone's asleep
  • The 24/7 feeling, without a server bill. Whoever is online runs the world; when they log off, the next one to start picks it up right where it was.howevery save is a snapshot that follows the players — and an always-on server of your own (a Pi, an old laptop) can hold it while everyone's asleep. Optional.
  • Mods just work. Your mod list gets tested before anyone joins, and the server starts with it.howthe list is shared in the session, so everyone runs the same mods without lifting a finger; missing dependencies are spotted before the start, and when one mod still breaks the server, the built-in bisect finds it for you.
  • Nothing to set up. No port forwarding, no accounts, no server to rent.howa direct, encrypted tunnel between your PCs; your identity is a key on your machine.
