Download and Open

1. Download the DMZ Launcher (822 KB) (Putty with servers list + FreeCap)

3. Double-click on "DMZLauncher.bat" to launch Putty and FreeCap.

Configure FreeCap

1. Click File -> Settings

4. Click File -> Settings. Click on the Program Tab, then:
   
   • Check "Only one program instance".
   • Uncheck "Run at System Startup".
   • Check "Run Minimized to System Tray".
   • Check "Minimize to System Tray". This will start FreeCap in the System Tray and you can eaily Right Click on the FreeCap icon and Click on World of Warcraft to run WoW.
   • Check "Add via Freecap to captions of SOCKsed programs.
   • Check "Show warnings in Dialog Boxes.
   • Under DNS name resolving, select "Local then remote". (This is very important)
5. Click OK.



Your program screen should look like this

6. Click File -> New Application, then:
   
   • Click on Browse
   • Navigate to your World of Warcraft folder and click Wow.exe and then say Open. (It's important you select Wow.exe and not Launcher.exe or any other program here.)
7. Click OK.



Select WOW.exe and click open, then click okay

8. This will have created an icon within FreeCap called World of Warcraft. You can minimize FreeCap at this time (it will minimize to the System Tray.)

Configure Putty

Run World of Warcraft

1. Open Putty and you will see a list of all of the DMZ servers. Select the Server that you wish to connect to and click Open. Note:
   If the DMZ Servers list does not show for you, you may need to click the "Sessions from File" checkbox and you should then see all the DMZ Servers.
   

   Pick your server from the list of servers (as DMZ grows the list increases, so you will have more servers in your list than this screenshot) and then click okay

2. Enter your DMZ login and password. The very first time you connect to each DMZ Server, Putty will present a security warning (picture below) asking if you are sure you wish to connect to this server. Just select YES. Now you will be connected to the server of your choiced and you should see our welcome message. You can minimize Putty now (it will go to the System Tray).
   

   Security warning that opens the first time connected

   

   Login to Putty. As you can see no password appears visually for security (although it is actually being entered - this often confuses first-time users of Putty). Hit ENTER on your keyboard, and Putty will login.

   

   Success!

3. Right Click on the FreeCap Icon in your System Tray (It looks like a Blue and Pink Baseball Cap) and select World of Warcraft. After a few moments, you will see the normal World of Warcraft Login Screen. Login to WoW as per normal and start enjoying your lower latency!
