So you’ve been banned for whatever reason and now some of your games seem to be collecting dust since it happen. Well, there is some good news as tunneling is still a thing especially if the games have a LAN mode.
Tunneling was a big thing back in the Xbox/PS2/PSP days and lucky it’s never going to die. The way we do it may have changed a few time but the results are still the same.
Right now there are only a few games that can be played like this but that’s how it normally starts out. Plus the games need to have a LAN party option to take advantage of tunneling.
