How to play Counter strike online?

Hello, Welcome to Counter Strike India.
today ill tell you about how to play Counter strike online .There are four Ways to play counter strike online,
1) Garena (Recommended)
    Garena is a client(software) which allows you to play games online for free as a basic member with less       facilities. Here are the steps to play online counter strike with garena ,
   #1) make a garena account and download the garena client.
   #2) log in with your new garena id and password and select the game counter strike .
   #3) choose your location/area and select a room and enter that room.
   #4) click on settings and select LAN games and browse CS 1.6 and set the path of hl.exe.
   #5) click on start game and type "slist" in console (by pressing  ~ ) copy the ip and type "connect" and paste the ip and press enter!  ENJOY :)

2) Steam
   #1)Get yourself a original CS(Anthology pack ) which costs around 400-500 bucks .
   #2)GO to Steam powered site and click on Get steam now (free download) .
   #3)Once you download the client . Install it and then  get a free account .
   #4)Go to settings and activate your account by entering ur product key that you got with the CS pack .
   #5)Launch the game and hit find servers . Join any game and enjoy .. another way is to use the console section    which get by pressing `  ,once the window opens you can type connect followed by the ip address of steam servers . You can find the IP address on Game monitor site
STeam is the best option to play online as u get very less pings which helps the game to be lag free .However ,if u are miser enough then i would advice u to try the methods below 
3)Non Steam 
It is the simplest one. You need not have an original copy of CS to play .Download it  free or borrow from your freind and you are ready to play online . Hit the Find servers option  . You will get a list of servers which can be filtered using the filters option.
99 percent of the servers in the list will be chinese,malasian,korean and japanese .SO if u are from india most of the times u will be kicked out of the servers due to high ping .Or else you wont be able to join because most of those servers are sxe protected . Sxe is a anti-hack tool that prevents players from hacking . So download sxe client and run it before u join the game .
Non steam servers are hard to find . A guy must have created a dedicated non steam server . If you have a stable connection you can try creating non steam server through this process.
4) Hamachi

  1. Download Hamachi .
  2. After installing it , create a network using the option below in the hamachi window  or else you can join existing netwrok of your friends .If you have created the netwrok you need to invite people to join ur network.
  3. Now you can join a  server by using the command Connect host_IPaddress . Remember that IP address should be the one hamachi shows not your computer IP address  . for ex- connect 5.135.23.34 and if u create the server ask ur netwrok freinds to connect using ur hamachi ip_address .
  4. Now sometimes while trying to connect you get class C errors whihc happens when the first 2 sections of ip address are not same . so for that the host need to do the following steps
  • Go to window and check the box show advanced options .
  • Then right click on the players name and click on advanced.
  • On the Peer VPN alias box enter the first three parts of ur(if u are the host,otherwise host;s address ) Hamachi IP address and  add the last part of the player’s IP address such that it is different from other players .
For ex – you are the host , ur IP is 5.24.23.122 and the player who wishes to join has and address 5.36.34.456 then all u need to is set is IP as 5.24.23.1 using VPN alias box .similarly for other players u can change the last part as 2,3,4 etc.
