Tunngle: the hamachi killer

What is Tunngle?-

Tunngle is a free software that allows you to host KCVDS duels. However, unlike Ham Tunngle allows you to join rooms for 255 people! This program makes Ham look like a thing of the past, but don't take my word for it.


I know a lot of you guys are fans of hamachi, but why don't you guys just take Tunngle out for a test run? It could change your mind.

How to download Tunngle-

1) Go to www.tunngle.net. Download the program and install it. Make an account at the website and fill out the required information. Make sure to confirm the email message.

2) Launch the tunngle.net program. It will look like the screenshot when you first load it.



3) After awhile a message will pop up below. Say “Ja”.


(NOTE: Language can be picked during installation)

4) Type in your account and software password.



5) Once logged in, you will be taken to your home page. There look to the top left corner. You will find the search function, type "Kaiba" in it and it will show the KCVDS room. This is where we can all meet for challenges, chatting, and plain old fun.



How to host with Tungle-

1) Both players must be in the same Tunngle room, in this case the KCVDS one.

2) In the bottom left corner of the Tunngle window you will see a VIRTUAL IP, that is your Tunngle IP, you have to enter that virtual IP in KCVDS when you host a duel.

3) Once inside a KCVDS lobby, click on the bottom CREATE DUEL, then enter in the field LAST DETECTED IP your Tunngle Virtual IP

4) Now click OK and the duel will be ready



This system is great for KCDA since Premium Hamachi networks cost money. Tunngle is not only free, it's faster, prettier, and way more convenient than Hamachi.

Let's look at some of the pros of Tunngle:

- If you use two or more computers you don't need to worry about being in the same network twice because of the log-in feature.
- Being in a live tournament is 100x more convenient, and could increase the size from a limited 16 to 32.
- When you log off you leave the room which means that when you log in, offline people won't take your spot.
- Tunngle does not crash making hamachi crashes a thing of the past.
- Hosting with Tunngle will always work, unlike the occasional hamachi fails.
- Unlike Leaf, hamachi can remain open while using Tunngle.

wow, it looks cool

The Detonator and I are both on it right now. Talk to us there if you are ever on. We're in the KCVDS room.

Just pro. If KCVDS doesn't lose the cheats and JP makes infinite siding a thing of the past along with the minor drawbacks it has over KCVDS, like the fact that you can't take the opponent's cards, then we can say the mighty have fallen to the underdogs.

I haven't tried it out with JP; it should work though. If you try it let me know how it goes.

I did try it. The only major issue with it so far is that you can't take the opponent's monsters. Other than that, it's no lag, and in case your opponent cheats(*cough*chang*cough*) there is a move log that you can screenshot for proof. Also it's updated far more often than KC, it doesn't lag, and I could keep the list going.

I'm having difficulties trying to download this. When i go to the website on the download section it says that the page/file does not exist.

I think Harper or Vongola can redirect you to a working link, I am not at home right now and can't do it, sorry.

I think it is a good program, it looks like "xfire" just better and newer at first. Lets see how it goes when i download it.

Newer yes, better no. Why don't we use xfire? So a problem called "recording a duel" wouldn't exist, because with xfire you can make screenshots and record a Game, while playing. Of course with xfire you can't host a duel. >.<

so we ARE allowed to host with tunngle?

Got Tunngle installed, but for some reason I can't log in to KCVDS. Even when I'm not running Tunngle. Posted to the KC forums

EDIT: noticed some others on the KC forums are having the same issue.

I can host with this tunngle,
no lags and works smoother than ham,,
but, its so quiet there -.-

Hamachi seems to be alot more popular. I'm online in tungle all the time and I saw 1 time max 5 people including Aludra.

^this

The problem with Tunngle is not that it's not better than Hamachi, it's that it's less popular. For most people it's an inconvenience to download it, install it, and logging in every day when they can just hit their power button on hamachi. In short, it's a matter of laziness. If we want this program to grow we (the people that have installed it and such) just log on every time we get on hamachi and just try to slowly make the move from Ham to tunngle.

Can we change our nickname as we wish, like in Hamachi? Because when I was trying to register site, there are two names, Username and Display Name. I'm confused about Display Name. Is it our Tunngle name which other people see us as?

This i am not too sure about. For the time being I believe you cannot change your name (Thank god i hate people changing their names in hamachi every 2 seconds) however this is just a beta version and when a new update is released then maybe they will allow for display name changes. To be safe i made both my username and display name the same, but it is only your display name that is shown when you chat on Tunngle.

Thank you Det. My problem was BERKAY is already in use as Display name. :/ Well thanks.. :/

Use another name :O

Yep i think that too, but thats because kcvds doesnt support that or how?

So, who is already using tunngle??
I have only seen Overdose kaykay there and 1 other member that I forget his name,, sorry

I am using it
