You can connect a device not on your network by using a VPN or a proxy server. This allows it to appear as if it’s part of your local network, enabling you to join multiplayer sessions like Minecraft.
Hamachi is likely the simplest option when you're not used to VPNs. It typically handles layer 2 or layer 3 needs, and for Minecraft, a LAN-to-LAN tunnel using traditional IPsec or OpenVPN works just fine since it doesn't require hosts to find each other on the same subnet. Without a more automated tool like Hamachi, you'd need to create a tunnel on both routers manually.
