Parents are worried about security and think port forwarding could expose everything, even with firewalls and antivirus in place. They’re concerned that anyone might access files despite precautions. You need to explain clearly that you’re only allowing Minecraft connections and that the setup is designed to keep other traffic safe. Show them the steps and reassure them it’s not a risk they didn’t understand.

Network sharing exposes your system to potential threats, particularly when using standard or widely recognized ports like those for Minecraft servers. You might want to clarify this with them and outline the implications. Separate the Minecraft server onto its own VLAN to isolate it from the rest of the network. If that doesn’t work, obtain a dedicated internet connection—this eliminates the need for port forwarding entirely.

They’re not the ones managing the house or the internet, so it’s a no. However, assuming this server is meant only for close friends you trust, you can try Radmin—similar to Hamachi but better. That should work.

Until you can clearly outline the real security risks involved, agree with their choice. If my child asked me to allow certain ports, I’d verify his server’s safety first; otherwise, a simple 'no' would be appropriate until proof is provided.

It would be simpler to persuade them to rent a server just for playing Minecraft with friends. You can also create your own free server using Oracle Cloud, though I’m not sure if you need a credit card to register. https://blogs.oracle.com/developers/post...-the-cloud

Set up your own local network using your Wi-Fi card. Performance won’t match a real router, but it supports port forwarding.

You must connect your device straight to the modem to set up your own Wi-Fi network. Your computer can serve as a temporary router if needed. This approach works perfectly.

They should use techniques that work within the existing network setup, such as leveraging the router's capabilities or utilizing port forwarding methods without needing a dedicated WAN link.
