Tunngle Editor's Review

Tunngle is a high quality package to play games online with multiple players. It creates virtual networks on which you can play games with other people who have logged to use the service online. What adds immensely to Tunngle’s gaming experience is that it has an internal messenger and network browser. It has all features of a messenger like texting, voice chats and file sharing which can be used while playing games. Moreover, its huge line up of games and interactive public networks make the service stand out. The entertainment experience with this peer to peer app is unparalleled. Additionally, the service provided by this gaming platform is extremely secure and all data transfer happens rapidly.

To play the game, users need to download a P2P-VPN client, which in turn enables a LAN party using the internet. The game builds a Virtual IPv4 Network between computers which are behind NAT firewalls. This allows running IPv4 enabled applications and services over the network.  Thus, a local area network in a multiplayer mode is created for gaming. The gaming platform comes in two different types: basic version that is free and a premium version which is paid.

In the basic package, 32 players can connect with each other over a self-launched network. The network name and password can be chosen by the players. This network will be deleted if inactivity prevails for more than three days. However, such deleted networks can always be recreated. The characteristic of such a private network is that it isn’t included in the Tunngle network search and nor incorporated in its browser.

In the premium package, a network of 256 participants can be established. Each member is given a permanent IP so that they can be searched through their nicknames. The networks created in this service can be accessed by other premium members only. The service guarantees better delivery, exclusivity and privacy.

A dynamic Tunngle IP upon Login is provided in the basic version, which is refreshed whenever users log in. The Tunngle API is used for all applications which interact with this gaming platform. Provision is there to execute a particular set of tasks with its programs and scripts.

Users can log on to its local network browser, where all the games are listed, to start playing. The games come with an inbuilt network browser as well as messenger. Its chat features allows you to have a dialogue with every participant who is using the same network. You can maintain a buddy list, check online status, voice chat and share media files. Apart from conversing, the chat feature can also be used for arranging matches.

The prime attraction of this game platform is undoubtedly its public networks. A lot of people gather over here from different places across the globe and it is a good place to meet new players. Interacting within this gaming community definitely adds to the appeal of the gaming service. Users can exchange data with other players and that too without downloading any additional software on their machines. In fact, you can even search for people on its public network, which comes handy if you want to collaborate with other players online.

The gaming platform has tons of fun features. Players can adopt a nickname and can even use their Tunngle web signature in other places around the web such as sites, forums and blogs. The browser displays updates about what’s happening on the Tunngle platform. The overview of all public networks helps you to know where the players are assembling. Players can also add bookmarks to their favorite games to find them easily again. The whole arrangement is extremely user-friendly as dependency on the manufacturer’s master server is reduced, which usually impose several restrictions on game players. Also, file sharing is really secure on these networks.

Any application that has IP based network capabilities can support Tunngle’s LAN emulation. So, its strong LAN emulation features will go with almost every IP based LAN game. In fact, it goes with so many games that a complete list is not provided because it is too extensive. The list even includes games which are not hosted by their original manufacturer anymore. The superior quality of its voice chat can be attributed to NationVoice.com and Tunngle.Net. The app even allows holding general chat sessions over larger networks without LAN capabilities such as Lobby. One real negative of this piece of software is that it is loaded with extremely large banner ads. This makes it a little annoying. Also, it features an interface which is too loud and unclear, but this can be tweaked with built-in skins option.

All data transfer over this gaming platform is done via its own network protocol that is fast as well as secure. In fact, security has been given immense priority on this network. The connections are encrypted using the open source OpenSSL library and the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm. The file transfer service which is available on its messenger is protected with a highly encrypted proprietary protocol. You can even continue file downloads which stopped halfway or have been discontinued. One really remarkable feature of its file downloads is that it compresses files being transferred, which speeds up the transfer process whilst saving on bandwidth.

Positive Points:
 -    Loaded with tons of features.
 -    Works with almost every LAN and internet game.
 -    Support for skins to change the looks and feel of interface.

Negative Points:
 -    Very large banners of ads appear every time you use it, making it annoying enough.
 -    A bit too loud and unclear interface.

Conclusion:
Tunngle has really revolutionized the way internet and LAN gaming industry works by providing so many built-in features. Adding to that, Tunngle is available for free. It gives a tough competition to Hamachi, another network gaming software. If you do not have problems with large ads built into its loud interface, it may just suit you better than any other similar program.

Rating: 4/5
