Comment on Has anyone here gotten multiplayer modded Minecraft to work over a VPN?
LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoI’ll have my friend check the server.properties.
As for port forwarding, my friend has tried to set it up multiple times over the past year for different things and he can’t get it to work. Idk what exactly he’s doing and every time I offer to help, he doesn’t want help even though I work in IT and this shit is part of my job. I’ve offered troubleshooting tips for this whole thing and he hasn’t been receptive.

Ah yeah I wouldn’t be surprised if he has a double NAT going on and needs to put the ISP provided modem into bridge mode.
Perhaps change who’s hosting it? Since you’re in IT you probably have a computer capable of it?
Alternatively you could host a wire guard endpoint have them connect to you that way. But configuring that is a pain on Windows.

I don’t have a personal computer that is capable of it. When my laptop died, I went for a steamdeck instead lol

Not yet. We are gonna try Tail scale at some point, but we don’t want to do any more tech work today lol. We’re too exhausted
