he will be able to host. come here to chat: - (link removed) because we will reach page 10 in an hour :P

just post here any problems you have, I'll try to guide you through

no. only you will create the certificates.. and then you will send them accordingly to each peer.. if I remember correctly you will need to send three files to each peer..(then correct the paths to the client config file and you should be ready) ca.crt mike-laptop.crt mike-laptop.key if we...

it doesn't really matter..simply press enter when you want the default to be used..and only give a name what you enter is not important

c:/openssl/ssl/openssl.cnf ? I thought you said you installed it on the Desktop..are you sure you didn't install it elsewhere and then moved the installation? and what do you mean by saying it was working until now? anyway looks like you are having a problem with the path..so probably inside...

What invalid commands? ..if I understand correctly what you are doing (been asleep for too long).. These are not commands but the actual contents of the files you have to create for the clients and the server. You simply have to insert your own parameters in there (so when I say "insert [port]...

Personaly i had disconnects with evolve. It was better than nothing but only openvpn solve my problem.

@Distorted I do not know what to say. Never seen this problem before. But I cannot see how this is VPN related..probably the game(and that specific save) got corrupted somehow? Tried an older save? have you tried loading using an autosave from another peer? (not the host peer) @Maniac Dude...

I am happy this method works for you. I have to apologise for not replying for this long, I was enlisted in the army so i really have no time.

I have used evolve with Civ 5, but i also had disconnects. The reason openvpn works is the line "dev tap". It creates a layer 2 vpn instead of layer 3. Being a lower layer vpn seems to solve the problem. ..At least for some of us... First it has nothing to do with being clever. My configs are...

check the metrics for every peer. Sounds like a problem with broadcast. Either that or you have an issue with your firewall. Have you tried creating a LAN game from another peer? But it seems that openvpn is being used when trying to play through internet..so..er..what are you doing here?? :p...

for me that's not enough. We should be able to make this a viable solution for everyone. Problem is I do not have that much spare time to experiment. If anyone is able to help or point out something we are missing, please do it.

No. Since you can see the game in lan lobby metric is not the problem. If a single peer is always the source of these disconnects, maybe the problem is there..

The only peer that has to open the port is the one running the server. All other peers will simply install and run openvpn with the correct certificates (provided by the server) and configurations. If you check openvpn's status you can see if everyone connected correctly. Then you have to...

Niamak, here are some last things you might want to check.. → the same peer disconnects every time? It could be a specific peer that causes the issues. → do you have a peer in the same local network with the server? If yes, are you sure the metrics for that peer are low enough to...
