server without port forwarding

I'd like to open a server on my pc that can be reached from internet.
The only problem is that my router doesn't support the PORT FORWARDING.
How can I do?

Get a new router.

There are few things that I think of, off the top of my head.

1 - check to see if the company that makes your router offers firmware
upgrades for your router. You may need to simply update the firmware to
get port forwarding ability.

2 - see if your router offers DMZ support. If so, you can set your
router's DMZ to your server's IP address. This will route all ports from
router to your server. Basically this makes it appear as if you directly
connected the server to your internet connection. (All of the server's
ports will be exposed, so make sure you securely firewall your server,
close any ports you don't need open & keep your packages up to date.)

3 - consider buying a new router for your network. Routers for home &
small business networks are pretty cheap.

4 - consider adding a 2nd network card to your server and using the
server as a firewall/router/proxy/gateway for your network. One goes
to your internet connection & the other goes to your network.

I hope this helps...
