Linux Client usage?

[dylanlip]

Hey there, I'm intending on running FFXIV directly on Linux. Is it possible to run this on the same system as the game? If so, would I just follow steps 6 & 7(Or only 7) & all set? Or should I still route through a VM?

I would love a tutorial on this as well. I assume you don't need VM since you can just run it normally.
But I'm confused with the routing part. I don't know the equivalent command for linux and when I tried, I can't connect to game servers.

I would not run it on the host because it does things such as enabling packet forwarding, which may be undesirable from a security standpoint. Its also possible the script just doesn't work since it is assuming it is forwarding between two separate systems.

It is possible to set it up inside of either a VM or LXC container, and then using the appropriate routing commands on the host, e.g.:

$ sudo route add -net 124.150.157.0/24 gw 192.168.X.Y dev lxcbr0

Substituting the IP address and virtual device of your container / VM.
