        ARP,IPv4        |          LAN Packets
Switch <-------->  PC(lan-play)  <-------------> Server
                                       UDP

Instructions

To play with your friends, you and your friends should run lan-play client connecting to the same Server on your PC, and set static IP on your Switch.

Your PC and Switch must be connected to the same router. Visit https://www.lan-play.com/ for steps on how to set this up.

See here for build instructions. You can find a list of games compatible with the LAN play feature here.

SOCKS5 Proxy

lan-play --socks5-server-addr example.com:1080

Data sent to the relay server does not pass through the proxy.
