PortForwarded is a server-side mod/plugin that allows you to securely expose your Minecraft server to the internet without opening your router's ports. With PortForwarded you can easily and securely share your server with friends and players around the world without the hassle of configuring port forwarding on your router.
Note: Your players don't need to install the mod themselves!
Installation
To install PortForwarded follow these steps
- Download the mod/plugin and place it in the 'mods/plugins' folder of your Minecraft server.
- Restart your server to load the mod.
- After the restart, a
config.ymlfile will be generated in/mods:plugins/PortForwarded/config.yml.
Configuration
Only one configuration field is present for now:
legacyFallback: true
- If set to
true,legacyFallbackwill attempt forwarding using a third-party tunneling service called Serveo. - This is a last-resort option to maximize service availability.

config.ymlafter updating the fields.
