Hey, does anybody host a server for players outside the home network? At home, we have the server running of the "player 1" laptop and connect via local IP. For external players, I am hesitant to expose our network and am considering a VPS.

Do you have any recommendations? Thanks!

I haven't done much with my home server yet, but it does have a Minecraft server "exposed".

I've got a $5/month Linode (VPS) running a reverse proxy and a wireguard server. That forwards traffic (through wireguard) to a second reverse proxy on my home network which then forwards to the appropriate service.

It's affordable, not too difficult to set up, and gives me a static IP I can point my domains at while obscuring my home network.
