I'd like to play a multiplayer with a friend over a VPN link, however a technical issue prevents me from doing that.
CivBE seems to do a network broadcast to find a list of available servers. Since broadcast packets are not sent over the VPN, my friend's server is invisible. I have tried pinging his machine and accessing other resources on his network and that all works fine. The issue is with CivBE.
Is there a workaround for this problem? What I'd really like is the ability to enter the IP address of a server to connect to rather than let the game try and detect one.
