Take the 2-minute tour ×  I recently purchased Minecraft for a
younger cousin of mine. Her best friend and Minecraft playmate
is another cousin. However, they live in two separate houses.
In the interest of setting up a server in the easiest way
possible (without running the server software on any computer,
ie in such a way that I could install a few programs and then
leave day-to-day operation to an 11-year-old), is it possible to
use a VPN to connect two computers such that they would believe
that they were on the same network, allowing use of Minecraft's
"Open to LAN" feature?  share|improve this question  1 Answer 1

VPN. OpenVPN, for example, can do this, in TAP mode.
