If it doesn't work (notepad window shows up instead of PowerShell one or you get an error ''"File ... cannot be loaded because running scripts is disabled on this system"''), then navigate to the folder where you saved the script, hold ''Shift'' and do right click on empty place, select ''"Open PowerShell window here",'' paste the following commands and press Enter:
<code>Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope CurrentUser -Force</code>
<code>Unblock-File -Path Earth2150-EarthNet-Configurator.ps1</code>
Line 59:
This is where OpenVPN comes in handy. When you, your friends and everyone else are connecting to our OpenVPN server, you will be automatically assigned with virtual IP addresses from the same network, which practically puts you in the same virtual Local Area Network, and since that moment it doesn't matter if you have or haven't public IP and/or restricted router — all you have to do is to make sure your [[EarthNet Ports|local firewall]] in your operating system doesn't block necessary traffic.
This VPN is free of charge, you don't have to pay anything to use it.
Using this VPN is safe as it's configured to pass through only necessary game traffic, anything else like shared folders is restricted by default on server side.
