VGA didn't care much about interference.

Lan party, we didn't have T connectors, so we cut two coax apart and spliced them with some tinfoil. it worked until someone bumped it hard.

I'm a little stressed thinking about what you even had to do on the software side to get everyone working properly; was it even IP?
