[QUOTE="Myrdin Potter, post: 7464242, member: 6843593"] When I travel I use PureVPN. That works well and I want a VPN on shared networks anyways. There are a few other free solutions on the forums now, including running the program in a cloud instance server which is essentially the same as other models, no messing with port forwarding at all. There is a thread on the forums detailing all the ways to do it. I also set-up a separate folder outside of the apps folder which makes life easier. I really don’t get how complicated you make it out to be. I download to the image folder and it is there to click on and share. As for the cost of the program, it is $40. The addional step up for the Ultimate license is just who can connect. The DLC is just buying the rule books and if you want to play any RPG you need to do that. I have not tried map tools but I have been told that Lua is better for scripting and you basically get what you pay for it. I want everything loaded and ready to go. I do my maps outside of any VTT as dedicated map programs are just better. There is an extension that adds layers to FG if you want that. I just got off my weekly game I run for old friends. Voice only (no video, I find it distracting) and we have been going strong for 2 years and having a blast. They are 13th level now so beyond WoTC materials so I am entering it all myself. Enter and faster than Roll20 for sure. [/QUOTE]
