You can use the free tier of oracle cloud to create a VPN with port forwarding support and that will allow you to play over socom.ccn with no issues.
First you need to create an account in the free tier here:

https://signup.oraclecloud.com/
Note : you need a valid credit card but regardless its still free ,they just refund you back
Use the location which is closest to you.
Now there are various youtube guides about how to create a VPN but i found the wireguard vpn one working well for me ,you can also use openvpn instead.
Here is one tutorial on YouTube:

Here is a github project explaining things further:

Anyway I found this useful for me and others I have played with that are behind a NAT and had success with it.
You can also just use it as a general purpose VPN of course if you so desire.

Thanks for the info.
But what about the traffics? are they metered? since free tier usually have limited resources and limited/metered bandwidth.

Alternatively, VPN on Google Cloud might work too https://betterprogramming.pub/build-your...22b0a7d489

PS: We can probably use other similar cloud services for people without a credit card

The best deal should be the oracle cloud because they give you about 18,000 GB per a month as I understand.
If you can pass with the credit card requirement its quite a good deal to have.

To be honest, oracle cloud doesn't looks good, even signing up/in giving me bad experience.

After signing (just now, with a few errors during submission and need to retry a few times), and when i tried to signin, it keeps showing me 504/502 Gateway error Sad

this is the worst server i've ever signed up

Edit: looks like i needed to wait until i received an email saying "Your Oracle Cloud Account is Fully Provisioned" before i can signin

Edit2: When i tried to create compute instance of a free tier, it keeps failing because it's running out of capacity for my region.
