Wow, yeah that isn’t ideal at all! There is some information on how to do this at the Minecraft website.

If they have computers capable of running the game, they ought to be able to make a server at home for them to use.

Thanx for the responses,
Now they live in a rual area and use cell network for internet access, which ant much.
Now it is so they can connect to the internet server and play the game with all.

If they just want to play on a server with themselves, you can set up a local server and that won’t use any internet bandwidth.

Wow this is going to be tricky.. are they in the same house? If so then setting up a server at their home is the way to go.

If they are in different houses, you’ll probably find the bandwidth savings negligible at best, when it comes to modern internet connections..

So I’d need more info, are they together, and if not a way to measure how much bandwidth they use…..

So.. maybe?

After reading this about minecraft, is there a way that I can set this up for my nephews so they dont use up all their parents bandwidth ?

yeah, i captured the encryped traffic which includes the outside tcp, i just didnt think it would compress so well.

I assume your capture didn’t throw away the encapsulation outside of the stunnel traffic, so presumably there are outer TCP, IP and Ethernet headers (we see “File encapsulation: Ethernet” above), which aren’t encrypted (otherwise the packets would not be delivered), and which therefore should be compressible?
