Hey there,
Occasionally I need to run a 'server' on my PC for some video streaming using VLC.
Normally I'd do that by forwarding ports on the router to my PC, combined with no-ip.com for a domain name.
At this time I don't have that option tho as I moved to a new place and the router is not available to tinker with.
I have a choice between a wired connection (the one without the router being accessible) or unlimited mobile LTE using my Android phone either as a wifi hotspot or the server itself.
Alternatively I could also use my webhosting with some 10 or so gigs of free space but I don't have enough know-how to install a streaming thingy in there, and I couldn't find some easy to use, instant and free solution last time I checked.
Any suggestions how to proceed?
The server wouldn't be running 24/7, it's only for cases when I specifically need it. Imagine it as something similar to like when you want to host a videogame session for friends.
Note I'm not looking to use Twitch or the like as I found that to be rather clumsy.
