Joining A Game via History

Local Private Game (LAN Game)

...

Info

Local Private games operate much like they did in Fantasy Grounds Classic. Your GM will need to port forward TCP and UDP port 1802 from their router to their PC. Players should not need to do any configuration of their router or Internet service other than allowing Fantasy Grounds through their local firewall when prompted.

Note

Note: Cloud Game mode is recommended and fully supported by Customer Support.
LAN Game mode was brought over as a courtesy from Fantasy Grounds' prior iteration, Fantasy Grounds Classic, and has been superseded by Cloud Game mode in Fantasy Grounds Unity. LAN Game mode is still fully-functional, but is no longer directly supported.
