I am planning to create a network using VPN broodwar gaming.
I would like to be able to establish the network in such a way that we can play Starcraft broodwar even though we are living in a different location.
I don’t how to establish this but is it possible that one of us should stay online all the time so he can establish multiple VPN connections?
It’s like, he will serve as a bridge to the networks.

If you want to play “StarCraft: Brood War” over a network and the other player is living remotely, the best way to do this without the hassle of setting up your own private network just for the game is with GameRanger. With this application, you can play many games with other players aside from StarCraft. To try this, download the GameRanger client and install it.
It supports Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8. It also works on OS X. To know the games you can play with GameRanger, go to GameRanger PC Game List. It supports about 726 games for the Microsoft Windows platform, 199 games for OS X, and 45 cross-platform games. To use GameRanger and play games, you have to create an account.
GameRanger supports “StarCraft” and “StarCraft: Brood War.” If you encountered a problem with GameRanger, here’s a workaround. Download GameRanger-Not-Responding-Fix.7z and unpack it using 7-Zip. Once unpacked, look for the folder called “GameRanger-Not-Responding-Fix” and rename it to without quotes “GameRanger”. Next, make sure GameRanger is not running. Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to bring up the “Windows Task Manager” then go to “Processes” tab.
Now, look for “GameRanger” on the list. If you see it, kill it. Select “GameRanger” then click “End Process” and then select “End process” to confirm. After this, right-click the GameRanger folder you just renamed and select “Copy.” Next, navigate to one of the following locations whichever is available:
- C:\Documents and Settings\[your-username]\Application Data\Roaming
- C:\Users\[your-username]\AppData\Roaming
These folders are hidden by default. If you can’t see them, in Windows Explorer, click “Tools” then “Folder options.” Go to “View” tab then under “Hidden files and folders” section, select “Show hidden files, folders, and drives” then click “OK” all throughout. Now, press Ctrl + V to paste or begin copying the folder.
When you are prompted to overwrite files, click to select overwrite all. When you are finished, see if GameRanger runs without error.
