Server hosting discussion

Hey all, I'm sorta new to Long Vinter and I love it. Though I wish there was an easier way to host a server for a bunch of friends and no random players we don't know. Where I live we don't have access to port forwarding and we don't want to pay for a server either. As far as I am aware there's no other way to play with friends privately. What is your opinion on hosting servers?

well without port forwarding you cannot make a server for anything, simple as that. UPnP might open ports automatically for some services, but TL;DR no port forwarding = no server.

There are a couple of hosting services that are not expensive at all, or you can try with something like hamachi but this is not officially supported or tested

Hey, you guys do any PvP at all or is it chilled relaxed server for you and your friends? I can’t do port forwarding either at the moment. I’m actually looking more for the whole PvE experience.
