Me and my friends have tried this but no real luck... with git udp fastest and the with game ports 8088-28088 . We can see eachother in the lobby and we can join eachothers games but when u start a game the others drops when the loading is finnished!..
However we succesfully got it to work through winXP inbuild VPN service but then the problem was that only one could be connected to my VPN server at a time.
So I started look in to OpenVPN but it seems to bee to complicated for me... anyone else have any ideas what one can do to get this to work?

pred8or how did u get a 1v1 game going with winxp vpn.
my friend connects to my vpn and when we go to lobby we cant see each other, however it does say hes connected to my vpn
as for git. ive tried it with this game and used ports 8086-28088, i included 8086 because i viewed the ports for the game and it had that in it however i dont think its needed.
when we connect using git my friend can see me however i cant see him,
do u know the solution to this??

Ive got it to work with GIT udp connection and winxp inbuilt VPN
The thing is that u need to run both programs ... And u can only play 2 players cause WInXP VPn only supports one connection at a time !!!! ARRGH!!!
Been trying to get this 2 work for 2 days... running out of ideas...
Can someone plz tip me of a VPN prog that works for many users at a time? and plz dont say OpenVpn cause it seems to be to much trouble ...

you can use more than one conenection by VPN hjsut add more user to it and they can connect.
in the fowarding port of GIT what did you used ? 8088-28088 ? or common port ?

First open ports 80, 81, 8086-28088 in GIT and if u have router open those ports in ur router also plus 213
I think that would help.. have u checked so u guys are connected in GITs connection status?
