How to Play Online
How to play online with other players? There are four ways:
*1) Battle.net
Find servers
Through Garena
Through Hamachi
**Battle.net**
The easiest way, and there are also many players. To play on Battle.net servers, you need to buy the game with a key, register on battle.net, and play. There's really nothing more to explain.
Find servers (For example, Playground.ru)
You can find other internet servers. One such server is Playground.ru. To play, you need to:
1) WarCraft III: The Frozen Throne version 1.24e (Version at the time of writing this post, may change)
You can download the patch from the link:
http://www.rubattle.net/warcraft3/files/29219/
(Several links are provided there)
2) Then install the loader
According to the site's rules, I can't provide the link.
If there are errors during updates, you need to correctly specify the path to the game in the registry. Here's how to do it:

3) Specify the server, that is, download and run this file:
http://www.rubattle.net/gate.reg
You may need to configure the firewall:
If the firewall is installed and is in blocking unauthorized connections mode, then:
In order for the firewall not to block the game's connection to the server, the following ports must be open: 6112, 6113, 6114, 6200, 4000 for the programs "W3l.exe" and "war3.exe" from the game's folder.
4) Launch the game with w3l.exe!!! NOT war3.exe
5) Create an account (it will also work for Starcraft and Diablo II games on this server)
6) Play
Garena
You need to download the Garena client and play.
1) Install the game (any version, but there may be discrepancies, and of course, it won't find games of other versions)
2) Register on Garena:
3) Download and install the client:
There is a Russian version
4) Log in with your username
5) Enter the Warcraft 3 room
(There are various rooms, including Russian ones)
6) Click settings, and specify the path to the launch file.
**7) Click "Start"
- Go to "Local Area Network"
9) Play
Hamachi
You can create a virtual network and play similarly to Garena.
1) Download Hamachi

2) Install
3) Create or connect to a virtual network
4) Play through "Local Area Network"
Well, that's all. I've listed all the ways to play online that I know.
