Does anyone know of a way I can host a session without having to open up ports on a router? :woohoo:

I travel a lot and spend a lot of time in hotels bored with nothing to do in the evenings.
I dont have access to the hotels router, and before you ask, I dont have a mobile broadband dongle either!

Any ideas?

NELL.

No.

If you're behind a router that uses Network Address Translation (eg you have many internal IPs sharing one external IP) then it's impossible.

Of course you can Ben,

Rent yourself a VPS (Virtual Private Server)* and host from there.

*This may be against them terms & conditions, always read the label.

I'd not technically class that has him hosting... also you could perhaps use a VPN via the VPS to allow incoming connections, that might be a plausible idea...
