I got reports that no one can connect to my Mafia Madness server. 

I only know of one solution to this, port forwarding. However, port forwarding is literally impossible, since the login to the router was set by my dad. This means I have to wait until dad goes into the router's page, which is probably never going to happen ever.

Is there any way to host a working server without port forwarding?

hello. if you happened to come back to this dead forum to re-read my forum games, i.e. The Vigilante, Infinity Tower, Criminal Business (for nostalgia?), you are out of luck. I saved each game to my computer in PDF form. Needless to say, these forum games are probably deleted. However, if you pm me on Discord (Oh shit, he#4107), I might be able to give them to you.

Why?
1. too much references to stuff close IRL friends or family will understand.
2. shit writing
3. a few things in CB prob put me on a list

So yeah.

of course it is finnicky. just last week i was able to host and have people join, but now i can't. I had uPNP enabled the whole time, so your explanation makes sense

so its just hit or miss

You can port forward to make sure Blockland servers will be joinable 24/7
