Hosting without using VPN's or Port Forwarding

Note: This is only for those who have trouble opening ports, which means that latency/ping to others increases because a tunnel is used to reach the server.

How to host without using VPN's or Port Forwarding?

Option 1 (RVGL Coordinator) - The most recommended option for re-volt sessions!

RVGL Coordinator is a free, centralized platform that hosts Re-Volt multiplayer lobbies for you, entirely through a website. No port forwarding, no game, not even a computer is needed.

How to use

Simply navigate to: https://net.rv.gl

Create a lobby on the website and you get back a unique connection string (address + port). Join that with your friends, queue up some tracks, and click "Next Race" from the website to start!

Features

The platform supports all regular hosting features, and a lot more:

• Public and private lobbies, anyone can create
• Lobby browser for public lobbies
• Only lobby creator gets admin access to manage the lobby, with ability to generate admin links so other people can manage simultaneously
• Scheduled race start, so the admin doesn't need to be present to kick off the session
• Full P2P and relay support
• Supports all popular content packs
• Player preview with anti-cheat, kick and ban
• Web-based chat in both directions
• Track queue with unique settings per track (laps, random cars, car rating, etc.)
• Track auto-advance and auto-queue in order or random
• Chat commands for restarting race and pausing auto-advance
• Race history with leaderboard and export to sessionlog, for use with https://online.re-volt.io/sessions/results.php

Limitations

It's not possible to enable Multiplayer CPU in the lobbies because bots require the server to actually drive those cars, which would take too much effort and, most importantly, CPU resources, which would have a serious impact in the web performance.

Option 2 (Playit.GG)

1. First sign into https://playit.gg/ and download the protocol from the website,
2. The program basically creates Agent for you, this is needed to make Tunnel
3. After making account and Agent go to Account > Tunnels,
4. Add Tunnel by pressing Add Tunnel,
5. Select Global region (Free option), and select type UDP (Protocol),
6. Agree that you won't use the program for malicious intent,
7. Set Port Count to 1,
8. Set Local Port to 2310, and Add Tunnel,
9. In the Local Address enter you're IPv4 (Easily found by typing ipconfig in CMD),
10. After that you have to wait a bit for the service to Run your port thru, and after that return to Account > Tunnels,
11. The screen below will show you how it will look like after the Tunnel is active (the IP under red line is the IP you receive from server, and the one you share with others when hosting.
