### LAN Client
### Client
To connect to a host on the internet use the text field to the right of the LAN Client button to specify the address of the host. The default host address is “localhost”, which means the client looks on its own computer for the game host. In addition to *localhost*, you can specify an IPv4 address, and IPv6 address, or a fully-qualified domain name (FQDN), e.g. *game.example.com*, and the transport with resolve the name using DNS. Click LAN Client to attempt to connect to the host address you have specified.

Click Client to attempt to connect to the host address you have specified.
Use the default “localhost” in this field if you are running multiple instances of your game on one computer, to test multiplayer interactivity. To do this, you can create a standalone build of your game, and then launch it multiple times on your computer. This is a common way to quickly test that your networked game interactions are functioning as you expect, without you needing to deploy your game to multiple computers or devices.

When you want to test your game on multiple machines you need to put the address of the computer acting as host into the address text field.
The computer acting as the host needs to tell their IP address to everyone running clients, so that you can type this into the box. For local clients on a LAN, that's the local IP address. For remote clients, that's the WAN IP address of the router of the host. Firewall rules and port-forwarding are generally required for a computer to act as host and accept connections from other computers, whether they're on the LAN or the internet.
Enter the IP address (or leave it as “localhost” if you are testing it on your own machine), then click LAN Client to attempt to connect to the host.

### LAN Server Only
### Server Only
Click LAN Server Only to start a game which acts as a server that other clients can connect to, but which does not act as a client to the game itself. This type of game is often called a “dedicated server”. A user cannot play the game on this particular instance of your game. All players must connect as clients, and nobody plays on the instance that is running as the server.

All players must connect as clients, and nobody plays on the instance that is running as the server.
A dedicated server results in better performance for all connected players, because the server doesnt need to process a local players game play in addition to acting as server.
