Ich würde gerne mit ein paar Freunden eine LAN-Party veranstalten, aber leider ist jemand ein paar hundert Kilometer weit weggezogen.
Jetzt ist mein Problem, wie er zu uns kommen und mit uns spielen kann, also im Raum, aber im LAN-Multiplayer alter Spiele, nicht online. Also nicht nur zwei Leute verbinden, sondern ein lokales Netzwerk mit einer anderen Person, die im Grunde dem bestehenden Netzwerk beitritt.
Wie kann ich das erreichen?
Ich vermute, dass es mit einer Art VPN oder möglicherweise VLAN oder so etwas möglich sein sollte. Da er sich mit Computern nicht so gut auskennt, wäre es toll, wenn die Lösung so einfach wäre wie die Verwendung eines Programms.
Update to see if i get it right:
Switch: Connected to like Local 5 friends, -- and to my Pc, -- as well as the router(internet).
On My Pc: I install (for example) hamachi, -- start hamachi and host a VPN with it, -- wait for my Remote friend to connect to the hamachi VPN, -- Start a game and Host in LAN modus.
Remote Friend: Installs hamachi, -- connects to my hosted hamachi VPN, -- starts game and searches for LAN games.
Local friends: just plug in the switch, -- start game and search for LAN games.
--> Everybody plays together
Here a (very pretty) Picture to make it a little more clear. would this work with an of the shelf hamachi? or do I need OpenVPN and configure it a little? (if so how?) enter image description here

You are correct, a VPN would allow your friend to connect to your network and would allow you to play LAN games together.
There are a variety of methods to set up a VPN. Some router's offer VPN capabilities built in. Check your router's manual to see if the service is available. However, these features only come in more advanced routers, which are not typically provided by ISPs.
VPN server software would be the other choice. You didnt say which operating system you are using, but I am assuming Windows. However, much of the same is offered on Linux and Mac OS X. There are a lot of options, such as these. Technically, you dont even need to install any software with this method.
Alternatively, Steam offers Steam Remote Play, which allows remote player to play a growing list of LAN games remotely.
