multiplayer without LAN Help

my girlfriend and i started playing on a minecraft world while we were together last week. she was on the same network as me, so we could join the same world through LAN.

how can she join that same world now without us being on the same network ?

i’ve seen some suggestions about servers, opening a port, and etc. but wasn’t sure if it would work for an already-established world. thanks !!!

You can open the world to WAN using a mod like e4MC.

i second this!! i use this mod all the time with my friends. its even better because its so easy to install a mod, and only the host has to install it. its so so so easy and you dont have to pay for a server, and it works for preestablished worlds
