How it works

Your computer hosts. Your browser manages.

The agent connects your computer to Swarm Hosts, reports its status, and carries out the actions you choose in the browser.

Managed shared relays

Let friends connect without port forwarding.

When a managed shared relay is available for your game, host, and connection, friends can use its address in your dashboard without opening ports on your home router.

Comparison of a direct game connection blocked by a home router until port forwarding is configured and a Swarm Hosts relay carrying the connection through an outbound tunnel with no router changes.
No port forwardingThe outbound relay tunnel avoids inbound router rules. Consistent player addressShare the relay-backed or custom Swarm Hosts address shown for the server. Works with changing home IPsPlayers connect to the relay endpoint instead of your residential public IP.

Swarm Zones

Manage multiple computers with Swarm Zones.

Group supported Windows and Linux machines into one launch target. Swarm Hosts places new servers on an eligible machine, while opt-in protection can recover qualifying servers after a verified host failure.

Comparison of a game server tied to one failed host without a Swarm Zone and the same server placed across three connected hosts with a Swarm Zone.
One launch targetDeploy the same way across supported Windows and Linux hosts. Automatic placementNew servers land on an eligible host with available capacity. Safeguarded recoveryRequires 3-copy protection, two healthy peers, and confirmation the original server is stopped.
