Background: A few days back I wanted to play AOE2 over inteet. For that I used Voobly application for finding the users and launching the game. But problem was that since my local ISP had blocked port 16000, I was unable to play. I asked the local ISP to forward the port 16000 and they didn't know what did that mean. After that I installed Hideme VPN application and it somehow did the port forwarding and I was able to play. Question: How does the VPN overcome the port blocking restriction? Isn't...

hopefully I've phrased the correctly appropriately!

The easiest way to do this with a DNS service. If you subscribe to Alteate DNS or Open DNS, they may be able to get most of that done for you with very little configuration. Just have your router hand out their DNS server IPs, and you may be good to go. I believe there are free service tiers at both. Alteatively, while probably not possible on your router (due to hardware lacking the required horsepower), Pi-Hole is a project that does exactly what you're looking for as an actual service running...
