Setting up virtual local area network (VLAN) parties over the web sucks. Bowstring makes it awesome.
Bowstring is designed from the ground up to create peer-to-peer virtual networks that look and function as though they exist on a common LAN, but in actuality are remote web connections.
Essentially, anything you can do on a LAN you can do over the internet with Bowstring:
Play games. Share directories and files. Access and stream media libraries. Share printers, and much much more.
Bowstring is optimized for multiplayer, co-op LAN-gaming.
@kibonik, Yes, we are the team that created EvolveHQ. Bowstring is based on some of the same VPN tech that powered Evolve's multiplayer party system. We've designed Bowstring to be faster and more scaleable, however.
