This may or may not be an easy question, as I'm somewhat uninformed in the networking side of computer science.
I own a rented server with a static ip address. Is there a way that I can forward requests from it to my computer to setup a LAN network of sorts over the internet.
Specifically, there is a program I would like to use that requires LAN (you enter an IP to connect to). Is it possible to setup my server in a way that users could connect to my server's ip, which would then forward it to my home computer (I'm fine with setting up my home computer with programs that would allow this) that could host?
Is this possible? Thanks.
Yes, in this case you want "Remote port forwarding", make sure to enable access for other hosts. This will only work for TCP, and fail for UDP-based protocols (such as games or voip) – b0fh – 2010-07-13T13:28:00.120
