What is P2P Relay?

The P2P Network Relay system lets players volunteer their client as a relay node that forwards P2P game traffic (movement, actions, chat, and other routed packets) between players who cannot form a direct peer-to-peer connection, such as those in different zones. When you enable relay mode, your client helps carry traffic for others, easing the burden on the game server. This feature is opt-in — you only contribute when you choose to turn it on.

How to Contribute

1. Open your p2p_config.json file in your Ragnarok Online directory
2. In the relay section, set enabled to true (e.g. "relay": { "enabled": true, ... })
3. Restart your game client
4. That's it! Once enabled, your client is eligible to relay when it has spare capacity (for example, while you're minimized or idle). Relay is never activated unless you have enabled it in this file.
