Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the service for its exceptional utility, convenience, and immediate readiness for use. Many highlight the intuitive user interface, making it easy to set up and manage various servers, particularly for games like Minecraft. The pricing is frequently mentioned as incredibly reasonable and offering excellent value for money, especially when compared to alternative hosting solutions. People appreciate the stability and reliability of the service, noting its effectiveness for port tunneling without needing complex technical knowledge or port forwarding.

Playit.gg is an amazing tool that gives everyone the ability to access their web apps and games from anywhere without having to port forward or be blocked by their isp. It is very easy to setup and very simple to understand. You can have access to your services in a matter of minutes and its free for everyone. There are some paid options that are definitely worth exploring to better your experience with the service. I recommend opting for a paid portion of something to help support this amazing project so that it can continue to grow and progress.

Feel free to email support@playit.gg for a refund. The tool is mainly free and playit premium is a way to support the project.

Overall decent

My experience with playit.gg has been pretty solid. The prices for premium and custom playit.gg domains are also very cheap and good. The main problems I have are high ping or connectivity issues with other clients (although they dont happen too often).

Useful for people with non-tech-savvy friends!

Playit is easy to set up since the very lightweight executable does every else for you. The web console is extremely linear and simple, which makes it easy to create connections for my co-op games. I've tried it out on Vanilla Minecraft and Stardew Valley. The best part is that my friends just need the provided tunnel IP and everything is set: no prep on their side is required!

My only issue is the fact that the "playit.toml" file is kind of buggy sometimes. Most of the time it interferes with loading, which prompts me to delete it. Hopefully there's some improvement to this in the future.

With that being said, it's a very solid program. Multiplayer with my friends has never been this easy IMO.

Useful for a wide range of things!!

The service is very solid. But I did happen to come to have a bug that the play it program didn't start, but this issue was easily fixed by a quick restart on my raspi. Any way even if you can port forward on your router you should still use this service because you aren't exposing your ip address to the whole internet to a prying eye to attack your server. Even that I have used this for countless amount of servers a Bedrock, Java, gmod, rust, and a server for unblocked minecraft that me and my friends can play on our school Chromebooks.

Thanks so much Patrick!!

My att router dosent let me port forward so I thought I could never make a rust server. Patricks free service allowed me to do this. Thank you so much man I hope it stays free forever.

Definitely Recommended For All-Round Port

I used the client like 2 months now and It's still great!!! Currently using the client for port forwarding Minecraft bedrock/java. and don't worry about the ping cause it will automatically locate the nearest and yet fastest data center! you can also join the discord server to ask questions if you're having trouble! Definitely Recommended!!!

Simple, Easy, Effective!

10/10 so far, it simple, you click a few buttons and it work. I don't really understand all the IP stuff but the fact I don't have to port forward for Minecraft saved me a lot of time and worry, and not having to share my IP either. And all that for free? Wonderful

10/10 would highly recommend if your trying to host any kind of game servers during anything like streaming or are generally trying to hide what your main ip address is. this is compatible with GeyserMC. Great if you have a custom domain with anything like google domains too! you can route that though playit.gg using the A attribute or CNAME

11/10, great service with zero effort needed to set-up.

My current isp doesn't allow me to host servers easily (thanks to cg-nat) and some of my friends aren't ipv6 ready. This service allows me to essentially host a server properly again and we, for the first time in literally years, could finally all meet each other in game on one of our self hosted server. The lag is minimal over here in northern France (about 20ms) and it worked right away. A great experience !
