Minecraft server + VPN on Nintendo switch (lemmy.world)

submitted 6 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

7 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Here's what I want: To connect an external Nintendo switch to my internal Minecraft server.

My server has Wireguard and Tailscale on it. Issue is, the switch doesn't support any VPN anything. And phone hotspots don't forward a VPN connection. I don't want to use a router, but using a laptop connected to Wireguard may work.

I don't know if this is possible, but could I rent a VPC, and have it forward just Minecraft through?

i.e. switch user connects to "vpc.ip.address:port" and the VPC forwards that to "my.public.ip:port"->"local.ip.server:port"

If so, if there any way to authenticate/restrict this?

Thanks!!

That's not what the other poster said. He said "Non Featured" servers. You have to do a DNS hack on the switch to connect to a private server.
