Three steps, about ten minutes the first time. One install and you're in.

The install is Tailscale, a private network built on WireGuard, the same protocol ProtonVPN and Mullvad run on. You set it up once.

Step	What
1	In Discord, open #get-connected and tap Get connected. The guided setup creates your free Tailscale account and shares the server with you.
2	Install Tailscale on the PC you play on and sign in when the setup asks. Once the server share is accepted, you're on the network.
3	Launch Valheim: Start Game → Join Game → Join IP, using the address pinned in #valheim-general in Discord. PC on Steam only. See you in the Black Forest.
