If you want to host a Minecraft server, but are behind CGNAT or can't port forward for other reasons, 44Net Connect will let you make your server publicly accessible. This will add latency, since connections are routed first through the 44Net Connect endpoint and then to your Minecraft server. This latency can be minimized by picking a 44Net Connect node physically close to you and your players.
Prerequisites:
- 44Net Portal account
- Verified callsign
- Configuration file from 44Net Connect
- Some sort of internet access
Step 1: Configure your firewall
Ensure you have a firewall program installed, and configure it so that only the desired ports are exposed. If you're using SSH, avoid exposing it to the internet unless you're willing to secure it against constant attack.
Step 2: Set up 44Net Connect tunnel
Step 3: Set up your Minecraft server
Download a Minecraft server jar file from the official Minecraft website.
