Hey everyone, I am here to share with you the ways to play OFDR online using a magical program called "Tunngle". Tunngle is a program that creates online sessions using LAN. Now, when I saw that OFDR servers had been taken offline, I will admit; I got a bit upset. So, after whining to my friends I remembered a certain program.. "Tunngle" so I hopped onto www.tunngle.net and completely ignored the popups.
The Actual Steps/Guide
Step One: Go to www.tunngle.net and find the latest version of tunngle and install it. (May require a system reboot)

Step Two: dowload the very casual 150 maps for OFDR (People only play these): http://sar.n1bus.eu/get-saintaxeror-missions-updater

Step Three: Install the SAR updater and manually find your installation directory. (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising) and click search for map updates. Then click Download all.

Step Four: Open Tunngle, Sign up/in and search the network 'Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising' (Without Quotes) and join it. If you haven't ever used Tunngle, by all means, Press the "Don't panic" button.

Step Five: Start OFDR and go into Multiplayer>LAN>Server Browser. and join a match if there are any in progress. If not, make your own!

Step Five point Five: (Only use this step if you have desperately searched and hosted but found no-one) Add Me, HellsArmy.

Step Six: ENJOY!
OFDR through hamachi.
It has been confirmed by Scarnedcedor BR that OFDR works via Hamchi. thank you for testing Sir or Madam. to do this you need to download Hamachi, https://secure.logmein.com/products/hamachi/download.aspx (Be sure to select unmanaged) and install it, this is like Tunngle, but private. so you create a Network, give your friends the details and then play the game through LAN.

I don't use Tungle,Hamachi, or Game Ranger(that requires flash) they all stick crap on my computer so I don't use them. I just port forward the game and have people directly connect to the server with my global IP.

IF you have access to your router all you have to do is forward port 9105 on UDP and people will be able to join your server. I play with friends this way all the time and it saves my computer from that Tungle/Hamachi garbage everyone keeps recommending.

I have played this game for years with my buds in tunngle - we have over 500 Custom co_op missions some better then others - some just suck as some have silly enemy spawn !

Guess I'm too late to the party.
The site is dead - drops a 404 and 503 error when hitting it.
Oh well - guess I'll uninstall it again :(
