Torchlight 2 Lan Game Server Tool

A message forwarding tool for Torchlight 2 lan game.

Only the game host needs to start this tool.

Who Needs the Tool

If your friends cannot connect to you on Torchlight 2 official Internet server, and you want to play the game together in LAN mode. You set up a VLAN, but you cannot see each other in game, because:

• The game host broadcast messages are not sent to the correct interface.
• Broadcast packets are filtered by your LAN/VLAN.

This tool forwards message that contains the server info directly to your friends, so they can see and join the room you created.
