Socom Server Shutdown 8/31/12...what about LAN over IP?

Isn't it possible to connect people via p2p VPN? They obviously can't remove the LAN functionality from the game. Maybe SOCOM could still live on with this method.

There is a way to connect LAN and I read some where there is a way to use an outside server link to connect.

Would one way be to install a VPN service on a laptop/desktop for each ps2, connect the ps2 to the pc via ethernet and use that VPN service to connect to the other player?

Yeah I just read about that Xlink. :

Step 1: Download Xlink Kai http://www.teamxlink.co.uk/

Step 2: Plug your PS2 into the same router as your wired PC.

Step 3: Go into lan.

Step 4: PLAY!

Awesome...good find! I knew you could do this with 360's wasn't sure if they supported PS2's.
