If you were to setup a proxy on the outside of the router with the ability to route down a ssh or other VPN style tunnel to the internal host, then yes. Something like a cloud instance can do this. It will act as a front end then pass the traffic to the internal host where it would be processed. This would limit the bandwidth on the server to the upload of the router you have the host connected to. ​ Cloud host with Internet forward <=> ssh/VPN <=> internal host ​ In the end, more trouble than it is worth. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- daemonpenguin · 2021-05-22 14:13 I do this with a VPS. I run a minimal virtual server and have it forward sockets to the computer behind the firewall using OpenSSH. It's likely to be a bit on the slow side for gaming, but it's handy for stuff that isn't lag-sensitive. The OpenSSH manual pages explain how to do this. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Catsssssssss · 2021-05-26 09:49 I've not tried this on FreeBSD, but I run PrivateInternetAccess (subscription VPN service) on my Windows computers, and they offer a NAT service which then effectively bypasses the local gateway.
