    I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to host a LAN game and have people over the internet join it, are there any programs that can do this, or anyone who can give me some insight. I have some LAN only games that i wish to play over the internet with some friends is this possible?

    Thanks

    Precisely, setup a VPN and give your friends the password.

    ^^^ What he said. I've been thinking about doing this myself for some time now, actually. You just need a VPN capable router.
