Is It Possible To Set Up A Public Server Using Teamviewer

[WorldofNoLifer]

Hi!

Currently I keep 1 PC as the "always on" and using Hamachi on it as a server at home while the rest of us login in from elsewhere to it. It's worked so far except one problem: Hamachi only allows 5 free connections and we can't run 10 man raids. Ha ha ha... Evolve seems good but they are in the red (financially) for most of the time and I have zero experience with them. Just concern about setting up something that I ain't sure will last or not. Exploring alternatives. Explore with me?

I'm just wondering if there are better alternatives to Evolve or Hamachi? Would it be possible to use Teamviewer VPN to somehow setup a private server for friends to join in? Sorry am slightly new to networking (I admit, I wasn't paying attention in class) and a google search of this topic turns up more topics on people playing wow on their teamviewer than using teamviewer as a VPN to the private server I set up on my home PC.

Thanks!

Port forwarding is the best option, im my opinion. Another option is something called no-ip. I've used both methods, and have had no complaints from either. Port forwarding is the easiest, since you don't have to rely on a program for it. No-ip is good because it can give you something to use instead of your ip, so you (i think) don't have to port-forward, and your friend, or whoever joins, wont be able to see your IP.

Edit: I've never heard of using teamviewer for something like this, so I'm not sure if that's possible. However, I haven't even looked at teamviewer for over 3 or 4 years now, but still. I don't really think that's a good option, but then again, I know nothing about it so I can't really say.
