playit.gg: Host Game Servers Without Port Forwarding

Sat, 16 Nov 2024 22:46:40 +0000

playit.gg solves a specific problem: making a game server running on your computer reachable from the outside without touching your router. It creates a tunnel to its servers and gives you a public address to share with friends. This is especially useful if your connection uses a shared IP, where port forwarding wouldn’t work anyway.

Here is how it works: a small program on your computer opens an outbound connection to the playit servers, which then route incoming traffic back to you. Since the connection starts from inside, there is nothing to configure on your router.

How to Create a Minecraft Server with Friends Using Tailscale

For a Minecraft server with friends, Hamachi has had its day: today you can do the same thing with Tailscale, which creates a private network between your computers without opening ports on your router and without complicated configurations. The free plan covers unlimited devices for up to six people, exactly the size of a group playing together.

The problem is always the same: the server runs on one person’s computer, but others are behind different routers and cannot reach it. There are three solutions (opening ports, using a tunnel, or creating a private network) and the last one is the simplest and least risky.

How to Create a Free Modded Minecraft Server with Aternos

Aternos offers a complete Minecraft server for free, including mods and maps, in exchange for two compromises: the server shuts down when you log off and, during peak hours, you might have to wait in a queue to start it up. If you are playing with three or four people and don’t play every single night, it works great; if you want a world that is always online, you’ll need something else.

Here is how it works: Aternos keeps servers that nobody is using turned off and starts them when someone launches them, so resources are shared among everyone. On weekends, when everyone wants to play together, the queue can get long.
