You can use a program called Radmin VPN. This program can emulate a LAN connection between players, eliminating the need for port forwarding (provided all players have it installed). Contrary to what its name would suggest, it's not actually a VPN.
I've had my troubles with VPNs in the past, so I don't reccomend going there. They do work though.
If you can't portforward, your server can't leave your LAN, so people on it (people who live with you, neighbors, anyone that shares your ip) can still join it. You can host kart or ring racers servers without portforwarding, and the functionality might be put in 2.3 later (i hope)

That's exactly what a VPN does... It makes your ip go somewhere else. If someone else is on that ip, then they can LAN host.

That description isn't accurate at all. A VPN connects to a server which makes web requests on the user's behalf and reports any gained packets back to the user's device. Radmin doesn't do any of that.
"Radmin VPN isn’t really a VPN in the traditional sense. Instead, it’s a virtual LAN tool. So, the fact that it’s sold as a VPN is quite misleading. It can’t do most of the things you’d expect a VPN provider to do. For example, it won’t hide your IP address or encrypt your internet usage."
This is impossible, VPN services restrict you to users who are willing to install sketchy software, and servers that can port forward will always be preferred.
You should learn to port forward with your parent's permission.
