I am trying to start a modded minecraft server that my friends and I can play on. Due to a bunch of factors, we are trying to avoid port forwarding. Nobody could get PortMiner to work, but we were all able to connect using Hamachi. Now the main problem comes from the fact that me and one other person live in a university dorm, while everyone else lives in another city. Something about my university's WiFi is preventing all this from working. When I hosted the server, me and my dormmate are able to connect and play without a problem. However, while everyone else could connect to the server, they could not move and experienced extreme levels of lag. When we tried having someone else host, the reverse happened. I even tried just running a vanilla server, but the problems persisted. The problem seems to be caused by my university's WiFi not meshing well with Hamachi, as either party is able to connect to non-Hamachi servers without a problem. Is there any way for all of us to host a custom modded server that we all can play without port forwarding? or is port forwarding the only option?
