Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

I would use something like wireguard, or another VPN service you can host yourself if your router supports it natively.
From the looks of it Minecraft servers seem to have dogshit authentication, so using some form of private network setup is going to be your best move.
Oh for sure. What I meant was "check router for a built in VPN and use it if it has one, otherwise use wireguard because it's the easiest".
The specific VPN doesn't really matter so much. The built-in one would be the easiest, so checking for a solution that took a few clicks is worth it. :)
Yeah, it's definitely faster, but I'm not sure it's going to make too much of a difference for a Minecraft server.
With setting it up being a bit annoying by hand, I'd still rank the router option higher even if it's a worse VPN. Otherwise you risk ending up in that yak shaving situation where you're fighting with routing tables and DNS when you wanted a Minecraft server.
