Questions
Can I move my server from playit.gg to VoidPort?
Yes. Stop the playit agent, start a VoidPort tunnel for the same local port (for example voidport tunnel --preset minecraft-java) and give your players the new address. Usually nothing changes on the game server; some setups (Minecraft Bedrock, for example) need extra configuration, see the preset notes with voidport presets and in the dashboard.
Is there a free plan like playit.gg's?
No. VoidPort is paid only. New accounts: free for 7 days with a payment method on file, then €3/month. Trial limits: 1 tunnel, 2 GB.
