I reside in an apartment complex where the internet services are not controlled by the management, but instead, they are managed by our ISP, Telcom. Unfortunately, Telcom restricts certain functionalities for users, such as not helping with the opening of ports or providing the admin username/password for my router. Additionally, my router doesn’t appear on the network tab of file explorer. Given this situation, what options do I have to address these limitations to port forward?

    Ok, this should be pretty easy then. Just set up an instance in a cloud service provider (Oracle has lots of free stuff for this) and set up wireguard. Establish a VPN connection to your cloud server and port forward from there.

    If you do know how to protect that open port then this should be pretty straightforward.
