See

- [How to set up a networked game](https://forum.vassalengine.org/t/how-to-set-up-a-networked-game/90005/1)
- [How to set up a peer-to-peer game](https://forum.vassalengine.org/t/how-to-set-up-a-pier-to-pier-game/90004/1)

Note, you may need a public-facing IP address or host name, or be on the same local network.
