For the Aussies SSH Tunneling (lowers our ping)

Sup,

Nutted this out with the guys at wow tunnels and got it to work with darkfall. This reduced my ping by 50 and reduced my packet loss by a shit load - no more warping kents (well not as much) during big seiges.

What do you need:
ProxyCap or ProxyCap64(if ur vista64 or xp64) v3.15: http://www.proxycap.com/download.html
ProxyCap Serial: http://members.iinet.net.au/~lashiec/darkfall/key.txt
WowTunnels install (Follow these instructions ignore the freecap bit where they setup wow): http://www.wowtunnels.com/instructions

Ok - now you should have a wowtunnels directory and a proxy cap icon in ur system tray. We need to setup proxy cap first and make sure its working otherwise ull go through the queue and then be like 'mother fucker!' because it didnt work. 

1.) Right click on proxy cap icon in sys tray -> Preferences
2.) Click Proxies
3.) Click new proxy (Box icon in top right next to cross)
4.) Type: SOCKS V5
Server: 127.0.0.1
Port: 1080
5.) Click ok
6.) Click Rules
7.) Click new proxy rule (Box icon in top right next to cross)
8.) Rule Type: Tunnel through proxy
PRoxy Server: 127.0.0.1:1080
Application: Specify - browse to Darkfall\data\darkfall.exe
Transports: Untick UDP, Tick TCP
9.) Click OK
10.) Click new proxy rule (Box icon in top right next to cross)
11.) Rule Type: Tunnel through proxy
PRoxy Server: 127.0.0.1:1080
Application: Specify - browse to Darkfall\data\lobby.exe
Transports: Untick UDP, Tick TCP
12.) Click OK
13.) Click OK in preferences.
14.) Open preferences again and make sure ur stuff saved. If it didnt u did not click the big OK.

Alright now proxy cap should be setup and runnign. Open Darkfall and login the news page (where it says its up or down) should not work. It should say it cant find it or come up blank. This is good means proxy cap is working.

****IMPORTANT*****
If you get stuck here and want to play the game without tunneling. Just turn off proxy cap

Ok now we need to connect to wowtunnels and make sure it works. First goto www.wowtunnels.com and make your self and account. This will give you a trial account which will boot you off after 5 mins (which you prolly dont wanna do when queues are high.) So if you wanna test it use the trial when queue is low - otherwise buy an account using paypal its only $2.50 AUD a month which is as cheap as it gets.

OK. open wowtunnels.bat or putty.exe directly (its in the video if you dont know how) - close freecap if it opens it - that program wont work for darkfall.
1.) Click Sessions from file (Radio button close to the bottom)
2.) Select a wow tunnel server - i use tunnel3.wowtunnels.com coz it had the lowest ping for perth you guys might have a better 1. 
3.) Click Load
4.) Click Open
5.) You'll get a dos prompt thing open up asking for username
6.) Enter your wowtunnels username and hit enter
7.) Enter your wowtunnels password and hit enter
8.) You should get a welcome screen - which means ur connected - minimize it
9.) Launch Darkfall.
10) You should now be able to see the news page. 

*** IMPORTANT ***
Make sure proxy cap is on when you goto the news page with putty. If it takes a little longer than usual dont worry thats fine.

When your in game you should be enjoying a stable ping - if it jumps up and down try another tunnel. If it does it on all of them - then I dunno bro it just wont work for you I guess.

Enjoy
