And which version of the game is needed for this purpose?
Solution #4: (playing using the Hamachi program)

Okay, I found a network in Hamachi; I thought, well, at least I'll gain some experience playing with people there, but as it turned out, after hearing from you that you are pro, no one will want to play with you...
So where should we go, actually? We – meaning those who don’t play very well because they want to learn how to play.
I can't play through GameRanger. When using the vanilla version of the game, everything is fine, but when using the HD mod (both players have the same version), the joining player's game freezes on the startup screen and becomes unresponsive.
Notes:
Using with GameRanger
- launch the HD launcher (HD3_Launcher.exe)
- select the desired executable file and click the 'Create HD.exe' button
- rename the created HD.exe file in the game folder to Heroes3.exe
- done! You can now specify the resulting Heroes3.exe in the Heroes of Might and Magic III location in GameRanger.
1) Disable the network card connected to the internet in your network devices.
2) Launch the game and go to the TCP/IP menu.
3) Enable the network card.
In general, I want to play without extra programs. I have my own VPN server (PPTP). It's not difficult to set it up in Windows, but the game simply refuses to recognize the IP address of the VPN connection. How can I make the game see the VPN?
The IP addresses are static (each login has its own IP) in the 10.xxx.xxx.xxy range.
They differ for different logins only in the last digit (y). Computers connected via VPN can be pinged, and you can access shared folders. Firewalls are disabled. In short, nothing prevents the game, but it keeps latching onto the router's IP and refuses to recognize the VPN. I want to figure out exactly this problem because the VPN is mine and under my control, and all sorts of Hamachi, TeamViewer, etc., are third-party products that could become paid or do something else at any moment.
