  • A old service called grappl.io allowed players to create servers to connect to directly through single player LAN. I was wondering if any of the Aternos developers had thought of making such a service once? Or at least heard of it?
    To explain what grappl is, it is basically a VPN, but is known mostly in setting up minecraft servers through single player. It works for other games as well, but primarily focus of the developer was Minecraft single player servers.


    This is just a question out of curiosity, considering that Aternos is very similar to it in some ways. Both provide what is basically a free server, but grappl's wasn't hosted on a static IP and required an app to setup the host. The difference is rather than having a multiplayer server, it was single player. It also required some kind of profit from the consumers to survive, which explains as to why the service or website no longer exists.

    Hi,


    no, we never thought about something like this. But this is also not what we want to do.
    We want to allow players to easily play with their friends without any big base of knowledge about Minecraft servers.
    The intention is that we provide all what is needed to run a Minecraft server which is publicly available in the internet and the user just needs to "use" it.


    Also there is already such a service called Hamachi
