Can a VPN do this?

[heymrdj]

Ok I run a few game servers. Nice and easy on a LAN. Well some of our clan members have moved and still wanna play as old friends. Well one game is Join Operations, made by Novaworld. You can run LAN servers as you desire, not worrying about mods ect, giving us a chance to develop and play around as we please for fun. Well to get the game online, where they could connect, you have to use Novaworld (like Gamespy). Novaworld restricts game types and mods. We don't want those restrictions. Any way to "connect" them into the LAN, where they could then access LAN games. I'm under the assumption the purpose of VPN is to "extend" a LAN, over WAN, to another LAN. I have a DDWRT WRT54GL router. If that's not good enough, I have a Windows 2003 Enterprise box I could use if necessary. What would be necessary to run on this end, and more importantly, on their end to access a VPN network. Any help is VERY appreciated. Thanks yall .

The VPN might be okay but the encryption might add some lag to the games.

just use hamachi. work perfectly for everything i've tried. for some reason though, version 1.0.1.5 is the best for games.

You could run an unencrypted VPN, but don't quote me on that because my boss would kill me
