Host files or not host files

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.

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    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).
