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

@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

Follow

@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
