A sad sight to behold, another good LAN emulator shutting down.

Someone bought Evolve, and things are restored. Good time too, as I've checked what other LAN emulators look like nowadays, and they suuuuuuck (primarily the shady ad-ridden Tunngle).

It would be real nice if someone would create an open-source system that requires no third party tunneling.

Like if you just run some program, host a "server" on your PC, and everyone else with the program can enter your IP and connect directly, so it would be like tunneling without needing to connect via a third party server.

This would significantly reduce the load on these external services, as they would literally just have to host a download instead of a full connection service.

Indeed, and it would prevent closures due to a sudden dip in popularity because Steamworks iz da best guise.
