# Deprecated
## TL;DR: use [PartyLAN](https://github.com/gyf304/partylan)
Thank you for your interest in LPVPN. However [Discord has deprecated their game SDK](https://discord.com/developers/docs/change-log#gamesdk-feature-deprecation), leaving this project in limbo. I've created another project [PartyLAN](https://github.com/gyf304/partylan) which is the same concept but using Steam instead.

# LAN Party VPN - VPN for Virtual LAN Parties

Have you ever wanted to play a classic game with your friends but not
able to because you or your friends cannot get a LAN or VPN set up?

LAN Party VPN (LPVPN) to the rescue! LPVPN allows you to create a VPN
over Discord so you can set up a VPN in seconds. No installation
required!

## Usage

1. Go to [Releases](https://github.com/gyf304/lpvpn/releases)
and download one of the precompiled exes.
For most people this should be the `x86_64` version.
Run the downloaded file. Ask your friends to do the same.

2. **For Host (Yourself):** Click `Host`, **For Clients (Your friends on Discord):** Click `Join`.

3. **For Host (Yourself):** Click `Invite` to invite friends on Discord.
Use your Discord client to select which users to invite.
**For Clients (Your friends on Discord):** Accept the invitation in Discord.

You are good to go! Your IP address will be shown in the UI. The VPN
will be disconnected once you close the Application.
