Tunngle - The New Hamachi/Garena



Tunngle is a revolutionary p2p VPN tool that delivers the best online entertainment experience.
Tunngle is specifically designed to allow PC gamers all over the world to comfortably play their games over the Internet while enjoying all the commodities of a Local Area Network party.
Tunngle is literally built around games. Each game has its own public network. Each network comes with its own chat! You can bookmark, list and search!


Tunngle comes with its own integrated messenger. Adding buddies, making friends is just a few mouse clicks away!





LAN Emulation
Tunngle is a magic tool that will never let you down (even with the most troublesome games): its LAN emulation features are very powerful and will work with virtually any game that supports IP based LAN gaming.
Tunngle is even more: you can use the Tunngle LAN emulation with virtually any program that has IP based network capabilities. You will never see a complete list of supported programs-games because it would be too long. Everything can work with Tunngle.



Network Chat
Every network comes with a fully functional chat which you can use to communicate with every Tunngler active on that very same network. This chat is a powerful tool to arrange matches or to have some small talk. Bigger networks without LAN capabilities, like the Lobby, can be used for more general chat sessions (for example if you are searching players for a certain game or want to talk about the weather).

Garena - Connecting World Gamers


Garena is an E-Sports publishing company that supports, maintains and promotes various games from different game developers.
Based in Singapore, the company has expanded its operations in the South East Asia region, including Taiwan, Malaysia, Vietnam and the Philippines.

The company also supports and organizes various leagues and tournaments which are played on many of its supported games, such as DotA, BlackShot, League of Legends, and Heroes of Newerth.




Language Support

Garena currently supports English, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Korean, Japanese, Spanish, Russian, Portuguese, Vietnamese, Kazakh and Thai,Mongolian.

Features

Garena boasts many features:

  • Experience Ladder - By participating and completing online games, players gain experience and levels. At higher levels players are able to access higher leveled rooms which offer greater challenges.
  • Social Connection - Players can interact with one another through the use of an integrated instant messaging system as well as through the use of lobby-based chat rooms.
  • Clan - Players can create exclusive clans and compete with other clans. This costs shells (the ingame currency that can be purchased via RMT).
  • Personal ban list - Users are able to prevent cheaters from entering their games by adding the user ID in a ban list
  •  Autoban - Garena automatically detects abnormal gameplay and bans hackers, although it has been known to ban innocent players as well and sometimes doesn't detect hacks.
  •  GGTV - GGTV is an online streaming video player allowing other players to view live tournaments as well as load previously recorded games.

Garena is now transitioning its client app off and introduced a new application called Garena Messenger. It focuses on the messaging aspect and includes the Garena gaming functionality, Garena rooms and country-selective access to games, such as Heroes of Newerth, League of Legends, Go Kart and BlackShot.
