So I'm from the UK and my boyfriend lives in Denmark, and we used to play Minecraft multiplayer together to pass time. We used to click 'Open to LAN', give eachother the LAN code, and we could connect and play instantly, without having to download any added software such as Hamachi. Now, when we try to use the LAN code, it says the server has timed out, or it simply will not let us connect. It also now gives a port instead of a LAN code. How can we set something up so me and him can play on a private server together, using this port code?

You'll need to create a basic server, which you can download from the Minecraft website. All you'll have to do is move the world save onto the server and port forward which is very easy if you watch a tutorial on YouTube.
Once that's done just give him your IP address and he'll be able to join and play with you.
