A straightforward way I've discovered to let my buddies connect with my Minecraft server, which is working by myself machine is to make use of a free tool known as ngrok to expose my server to the internet.



1) Download ngrok from http://www.ngrok.com. You'll need to signup for a free account as effectively, and comply with their setup directions. PERSIANCAT'S BLOG



2) Start your Minecraft server



3) To share your native Minecraft server, run the following in a terminal:



4) This will show some info, with a line like the next:



Write down the number that is where the XXXXX is above.



5) Your server is now accessible on the web! However how do your pals connect to it?



6) Tell your friends to begin Minecraft, then



- click on "Multiplayer"- click "Direct Connect"Fill in the next, replacing XXXXX the number you wrote down in step 4)



ngrok.com:XXXXX



7) They need to now be related to your Minecraft server!



TROUBLESHOOTING: Notice - if it would not work, then as a substitute of "Direct Connect", add it as a server by selecting "Add Server", then provide ngrok.com:XXXXX. Then just hook up with the server that approach instead!
