Good alternative to a Hamachi server?

I have a minecraft server on which to play some friends

The problem is that Hamachi unfortunately only provides 5 seats in the Free Version.

Is there an alternative to a Hamachi server that provides more than 5 seats for free?

If Hamachi has not changed the system in the last 2 years, it should be possible to open more networks where players can join and then play.

edit:

Simply creating multiple networks should work.

Otherwise port forwarding / port forwarding

You do not need Hamachi to host your server, the rumor is very persistent (and the kiddie videos, too)

Just release the port and you can play any number of players, depending on the available ram of course…

Ngrok.io or any VPN with port release, if it does not work for you in the router

Does not seem to work

Have tried to share with the port is unfortunately not - try it today

If you need help, contact me again…

For a VPN you do not need a port release, that's the good…
