Why We Changed HTN Panel: One App, Every Game
5 November 2026
HTN Panel is now one app with every game included, for $8.99 a month or $99.99 for a lifetime licence. No more buying games one at a time.
HTN Panel is an easy-to-use app for your PC that sets up any game server in one click. No port forwarding needed, thanks to HTN Tunnel. Here's what's changed, and why.
We got the old model wrong
We think the way we sold HTN Panel before was a mistake, and we'd rather say that plainly.
Each game had its own plan and its own monthly price, like FiveM from $6 a month or Minecraft from $3 a month. Because of that, a lot of people thought HTN Panel was a hosting service, where we rent you a server in a data centre. It never was. It's an app that runs on your own PC, and the old pricing made that hard to see.
It also made HTN Panel confusing to buy. You had to work out which game you wanted before you'd even tried the app, and adding another game meant another plan.
There's a money side too, and we want to be open about it. Under the old model, the average customer was paying too little for us to keep building the features people were asking for. We didn't want HTN Panel to slowly stall, so we've changed how it works.
HTN Panel is an app, so we're selling it like one
From now on, HTN Panel works the way you'd expect an app to: one download, one licence, every game.
You install it on your PC, pick a game, and it makes the server for you in one click. No manual setup, no config files to hunt down, and no port forwarding, because HTN Tunnel handles the connection for you. Your friends can help run the server too, through the teams system.
The server runs on your machine. You're in control of it, and you're not paying per game for software you already have installed.
Pricing: one licence, two ways to pay
There are two plans, and both get exactly the same app with every game.
Plan | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
Monthly | $8.99/mo | Every game, every feature |
Lifetime | $99.99 once | Every game, every feature, forever |
If you paid for FiveM before, the monthly plan is less than $3 more than the old FiveM plan, and it now covers every game instead of one.
The lifetime licence is new. For the first time, you can buy HTN Panel once and own it for good. After about 17 months, it works out cheaper than the old FiveM plan would have cost, and it still covers every game, including ones we add later.
There's no free trial. Instead, every purchase comes with a 24-hour, no-questions-asked refund, so you can try it properly and get your money back if it isn't for you.
What's included
Both plans include everything, with no add-ons to buy later:
- Every game, current and future
- No limits
- Use it on as many of your own devices as you like
- HTN Tunnel, so there's no port forwarding and your home IP stays hidden
- File manager and backups
- Teams, so friends can help run your server
- 24-hour no-questions-asked refund
Already a customer?
Nothing changes for you right now. You'll stay on your current pricing.
If that ever changes, we'll email you with at least 30 days' notice first. Either way, you'll keep legacy pricing as a thank you for backing HTN Panel early.
How it compares
HTN Panel does what server panels and tunnel tools do, in one app.
Server panels (AMP, Pterodactyl) | Tunnel tools (playit.gg) | HTN Panel | |
|---|---|---|---|
One-click game server setup | Yes | No | Yes |
No port forwarding | No | Yes | Yes |
Home IP hidden | No | Yes | Yes |
File manager and backups | Yes | No | Yes |
Friends can help run it | Yes | No | Yes |
With a panel, you still need to sort out port forwarding yourself. With a tunnel tool, the connection is fixed but you still set up and manage the server by hand. HTN Panel handles both.

Thanks to everyone who's used HTN Panel so far and told us what wasn't working. This change came from that feedback.
