Hosting from behind NAT

[DevonNelson]

I live in a college dorm room, and would like to host a few services publicly (web, maybe teamspeak, etc). Each suite has its own Public IP address, but this is shared among my roommates and I. I do not have access to do any port fowarding, etc. 

 

Can anyone think of any alternatives? Something crazy like using an Amazon AWS box as a proxy,etc?

 

With the decent amount of networking experience I have had, I would personally consider this to be impossible, but I figured I'd try and pick you guys' brains before I gave up entirely

 

Have a nice day!

Run everything though a vpn to a vps and host form that.

Yep, it's impossible to do from behind a NAT router and without access to port forwarding. Host it from a VPS.

Fist see if you can take advantage or UPNP mapping. Its basically automatic port forwarding. Some people forget to disable this on the router and it allows games and other things to automatically port forward temporarily for things like being the host of a xbox game session. There are tools that use this so you can host stuff behind a NAT without touching the router.

Only one way, make some good friends in the IT department. Otherwise host off site / cloud server.

Thanks for the answers guys!

A VPN with a dedicated IP that accepts incoming traffic would allow you to do this (I think).

 

e.g. https://vpnuk.info/dedicated-ip.html

Just keep an eye on your upload - if you upload too much you'll stand out like a sore thumb.

I have been given a one-to-one NAT with my own public IP. Thankfully this is no longer an issue. Thank you guys for the help, it is much appreciated
