This is not nessisarily a bukkit help thing. But i need help with the server part. So i want to set up something like: outside connections hit the proxy server. the proxy server shifts the data from the outward facing IP to your "inside facing" ip all the external connection sees is the proxy ip it works just like the router on your home network. data from you hits the ip assigned by your router then routes it out. data in hits the ip of the router and routes it inHow would i go about doing this?
You basically want a reverse proxy. What purpose would that serve with minecraft server? Reverse proxies generally provide more than just masquerading. They handle functions like caching, load balancing, encryption offloading, etc. Something you'd find in a server/web farm.
I just want a way to have the external connection connect to the private IP inside my router And another user told that those steps would help me.
Why do you want that anyway? Proxy connections will simply slow down everything. There is no reason to have qualms about letting people see your external IP address, I mean, any connection made with you can. Just go to www.whatismyip.org, they get your IP address simply because it's part of the protocol with which you connect to the internet. My IP address is 68.201.46.156.
I have a private ip blocked by a router. So if anyone tried to connect to the router it wouldn't work.
I haven't heard of that Do you mean you are already using a proxy? Otherwise, you should be normal. By the way, go ahead and post the IP from www.whatismyip.org and I bet I can ping it
What seems to be the problem then? Forward the port of your server on your router's interface to the local IP address of your computer, and players can connect with 76.200.192.136.
