Hello everyone. I am trying to host a server from my doorm room. Problem is I need to port forward and I dont have router access (or any control over the network). I was wondering if there are any ways to get around this. Also I know I can use a VPN but I would prefer not to.

There's no real way to forward ports without access to at least the router configuration options.

No, you can't.

Unless you make your clients install some software like hamachi which gamers usually use when they don't know how to port forward their game servers.

You can't port forward without router access, and you probably shouldn't do this from your dorm.

 

What type of server? Id try aws, they have a free tier you can try.

Without logins (ssh or user control panel) you will be unable to port forward any traffic. Tt is probably against your TOS anyway.

If it supports uPNP and the software that needs the ports does too, its should do it automatically.  But I highly doubt they support it.
