Hello, Tunngle was closed yesterday as a reason they say (quote)
Quote:Were sorry to inform you that the Tunngle Service will shut down on 30/04/2018 due to pending requirements of the new European General Data Protection Regulation.
We tried our best to avoid this but we currently lack the resources and investments required to implement the changes required by the law.
We would like to thank the 10 million customers that trusted us by registering to our service and those special members that supported Tunngle over the past 11 years. You really made this great adventure worth living!

Now sure it is valid reason and nothing is wrong about it, well there is.

As main reason they have "lack the resources and investments". Seriously Tunngle? Whenever a client starts your client you show him shady ads that must have made them thousands of dollars. They also sell premium memberships so I think money was never problem.

Now here is my theory of what is actually going on, they cannot comply with GDPR because it would show some very nasty stuff that is happening without users knowledge, I even think that their privacy is so shit they might even sell your data to 3rd party.


What is your theory? Reply below!

That fucking blows, do you know any other alternatives? Hamachi sucks and I used Tunngle to play old game multiplayer with friends like on the PPSSPP (PSP) emulator. :/

I'm pretty confused what reason they must've had behind that tho ...
The more I think about your theory the more scared I actually get e...

Well once Tunngle shutdown, since today I am using Hamachi and it works like charm. However yes it was shit few months back. Maybe they fixed it again,
you can also try Evolve its like Tunngle but without aids, however when using Evolve I experienced high ping at few games like Factorio, majority of games on Evolved worked fine.
