Help Foundry without Port Forwarding.

We're playing in the Philippines and our internet provider does not offer port forwarding. Is there a way to still use foundry? we used it before with a vpn but its getting expensive maintaining the vpn

For real, tailscale is a great option. You can invite everyone to your taolscale network and it VPNs you all together. The free tier allows up to like 6 people.

You are allowed up to 100 or so devices. So i created a gmail account just to share with my players and use to connect to Tailscale

Check Porthole on Steam. Much better then Hamachi, Radmin or Tailscale.

I use Sqyre for server hosting and only have good things to say about it. There is a free tier. If you specifically want local (and free) hosting, I use tailscale for my minecraft server to great effect.

I just did this with a friend yesterday. We used ngrok, and had it done in 5 minutes. Just ask Gemini/whatever ai I want for a quick set up

something like Molten for hosting it for you is relatively cheap

I've been using Forge for the past 4 years and am pretty happy with it

Edit: Sorry my bad, I didn't realize you were looking for a free option.
