A simple means I've discovered to let my pals connect with my Minecraft server, which is running alone machine is to make use of a free tool known as ngrok to expose my server to the internet. MINECRAFT SERVERS
1) Download ngrok from http://www.ngrok.com. Minecraft You may must signup for a free account as well, and comply with their setup directions.
2) Start your Minecraft server
3) To share your local Minecraft server, run the following in a terminal:
4) This may show some data, with a line like the following:
Write down the quantity that's the place the XXXXX is above.
5) Your server is now accessible on the internet! But how do your pals connect to it?
6) Inform your mates to start out Minecraft, then
- click on "Multiplayer"
- click on "Direct Connect"
Fill in the following, replacing XXXXX the number you wrote down in step 4)
ngrok.com:XXXXX
7) They need to now be linked to your Minecraft server!
TROUBLESHOOTING: Note - if it does not work, then instead of "Direct Connect", add it as a server by choosing "Add Server", then supply ngrok.com:XXXXX. Then just connect to the server that approach instead!
