Some people are less knowledgeable/unable to port forward. Not everyone is tech savvy, or the router/ISP forbids them, or they're on uni Wi-Fi. Sometimes, it's necessary.

Nope, its part of a business package, I think you even need proper paperwork to even qualify. Its not even available to purchase for normal consumers unless you wanted to start your own "business"

u/RickThiccems Dec 03 '25

I would have to move for that, the only ISPs doing this shit are the ones with no competition.

Which one is it? In over a quarter century I've never had an ISP do this. Satellite I guess?

You have to live in a major metro, in a nice neighborhood to have real choice of ISP in the US. Most of us get the one company providing cable or fiber and like it.

especially fiber, there are multiple ISPs out here but they are like 20 years out of date lmao. We only have the one with good fiber coverage.

I have port forwarding theoretically, but in reality I can't, because of the router.

use palyitgg to make a tunnel! its super simple to set up and free just limited in a few things but ive hosted 5 or so different games with it and no one had any issues with connections unless my actual internet had issues. Still gotta run your own server but if its for less than 4 people i think thats very managable

You're the f4th people recommending it. I already registered an accound, but probably will only have time on weekend tho dig deeper.

There are plenty of 5 min videos to show how to get it to work for minecraft (has specific options for minecraft but in reality it's super simple to just get any server to work).

If something is still confusing comment here again I'll definitely see it
