It’s not really complicated at all you just download the tailscale app make an account and then hit share to your friends. That’s how I run a Minecraft server for me and my friends because I was too lazy to figure out how to port forward. It was easier to just sudo apt install tailscale and essentially be done.
Comment on How do I avoid becoming one with the botnet?
bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks agoIs it bad to forward ports temporarily to game with friends? And deactivate after?
I dont have the energy to learn new fanglad networking since everything is so insecure now…im used to 2009 servers.

No?
I mean, how else are you meant to play the game actually?
I guess you could be like opening ports just to particular IPs. And you need a game that isn’t Swiss cheese that gets immediately hacked.
But like hackers don’t sort of seep in through port forwards; they need to physically identify and exploit a particular vulnerability.
