does anyone know much about running a minecraft server (small and for friends) when you have:
- no personal domain
- no money
- no access to the router to do port forwarding
@packbat sure! thank you
@Felthry do you know/trust anyone with a small server that you could use--not for the server itself, but for forwarding? if so you could potentially forward over SSH instead of through the router
@eq We do know someone we could ask--would it be a problem though if the forwarding was done across the atlantic though? i imagine not, but i could see it
@Felthry potentially, since everything would have to travel through twice, but i don't have expertise there. might be worth a shot
@Felthry
You don't need a domain.
Maybe WireGuard can help with getting through the NAT? Or maybe one of the other players can host a VPN server?
while trying to make sure we met the requirements for hosting a server, we discovered that our apartment gets 95 Mbps symmetric internet o.o.o
we'd known it was good, but not that good
