Knowing GOG Galaxy has built in multiplayer & matchmaking. Does Diablo use that or it still uses the old battle.net service? I was just curious because I stumbled apon Diablo on GOG but never actualy played Diablo (played Path of Exile...sometimes).

from what I understand, there's 0 connection between multiplayer in gog's diablo 1 and GOG galaxy.
They've just been given a copy of d1's bnet to run. (it's exactly as clunky as the original)

If you want a quality multiplayer experience, https://github.com/diasurgical/devilutionX is something to look at.
Latest beta version adds zerotier support, which lets you play multiplayer without forwarding any ports.
After we add a game list, playing with random strangers will be really one click away :)
To old 4 realms for Classic Battle.Net Blizzard add new one Global (gateway registered in Win REGEDIT by GOG installer, removing registry entries turn back old realms on next game launch and you lost gateway to new one).

GOG version of D1\Wc2 add Global server gateway. Blizzard still managed it, and once they temporary diable it by mistake.
Few ppl, multiple gateways (old ones and old releases), multiple tech problems and once temporary disabled... So there is literally no one who play there.
For Diabli it not matter - you should find cooperative on forums\somewhere else. For Warcraft 2... it upset that Wc2 always have stable online on all 4 old gateways, but only few ppl on Global and now literally no one. Still you can play on un-official warez war2ru
