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. Open port 25565 to TCP traffic to allow connections to your Minecraft server. For more information on firewall configuration, see Firewalling Basics.

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.
