What is SquidServers?
SquidServers is a free desktop application for Windows, macOS, and Linux designed to make hosting your own Minecraft server effortless. Instead of struggling with router settings, static IPs, or port forwarding, SquidServers automates the connection process with secure built-in tunneling so friends can join from anywhere in minutes.
Unlike traditional cloud hosting services that charge monthly fees or shut down your world when idle, SquidServers runs right on your computer. You keep complete ownership over your worlds, server files, and modpacks with out-of-the-box support for Vanilla, Paper plugins, Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, Quilt, and Bedrock cross-play.
Note: SquidServers is dedicated exclusively to Minecraft server management and is completely unrelated and unaffiliated with the Squid caching proxy (squid-cache.org).
Zero Port Forwarding
Automated tunneling bypasses CGNAT and complex firewall rules instantly.
Free to Use
SquidServers desktop application has no forced subscriptions or paywalls for hosting.
Privacy Focused
Anonymous analytics, safe tunneling, and total control over local server files.
Supported Server Engines & Mod Loaders
SquidServers supports your favorite Minecraft server software out of the box.
