Host files or not host files

Post by bjc435 »

I have been away from l2j for quite some time, and I have decided to give it another go. Needless to say things have changed a bit.

Back when I was doing this before, if I wanted someone to log onto my server I would just instruct them on how to edit their host files. Not long after I stopped tinkering with servers I had heard something about, that method no longer working. I have been searching for a while to find the method, and i am not finding anything.

So i guess my question is, how do i get others clients to connect to my server?

The HOSTS file editing is the proper way to go, and of course is working :wink:

Except it works only for static IP (not dynamic DNS). But at least it works.
If you have problems, FIRST TRY SOLVING THEM YOURSELF, and if you get errors, TRY TO ANALYZE THEM, and ONLY if you can't help it, THEN ask here.
Otherwise you will never learn anything if all you do is copy-paste!

You could also write some tunneling tool that forwards traffic to your server via a client application and in hosts it's something like:

Code: Select all

127.0.0.1 ย  ย l2authd.lineage2.com
That would also work with dynamic ips (ofc only as long as the ip stays the same while playing, otherwise the tunnel with disconnect).
