My home connection is part of a large NAT, outside my control.
Inside my home, my router has a NAT, under my control.
I control a public facing Linux VPS with one IP address, outside my home network.

Ideally, what I'd like to do is set something up so that I connect my home computer to my VPS, and after that port X on my VPS leads to port Y on my home computer, for the purposes of running a game server of a game that does not run under Linux. Is this possible?
