Hacky Way to Get Among Us Running with "Local" Rather than the Central Servers

You will need one user who is the Admin and will run the Local game, and all Users will connect to the Admin's network. Instructions for each user - Admin and User - are below.

Admin:

  • Download and run ZeroTier on your machine
  • Sign in to the web client (my.zerotier.com/network)
    • Ensure it's set to private so rando's don't join
  • Share the Network ID with all your users, and when they join click the checkbox in the in the "Auth?" Column
    • Optionally give them an IP address that you want them to have
  • You will need to install and run this to make it work every time you reconnect to ZeroTier: https://github.com/dechamps/WinIPBroadcast/releases/tag/winipbroadcast-1.6

Users:

  • Download Zero Tier for your platform (https://www.zerotier.com/download/)
  • Get a Network ID from the host, and join it from your Zero Tier client
    • You may need to check the Default Route or Global checkboxes depending on your platform/config
  • Tell the host you've sent a request and have them approve it
  • Open up Among Us and select "Local" rather than "Online", join the server that is on the host machine
