Does anyone know how to connect outside the LAN network using MLAPI?

Look into matchmaking. If MLAPI has support for large servers that you can connect clients to, around the world (also known as matchmaking), then you should try looking into that instead of connecting clients with their IP's.

If not, you'll have to look into other third-party packages such as Photon, which is pretty popular at the moment. It's easy to use and setup, with some official tutorials and demonstration scenes in their package. It's on the asset store, free of price. @xardas3307

Hi @Llama_w_2Ls! Thank you for replaying. I heard a lot of a Photon, but I don't know that is a suitable solution. I'm making a co-op game (one player host a lobby, and others can join into it), and I don't know with one multiplayer solution use. Is it possible to use Photon that way?
