After playing minecraft for 2 years on Xbox we have realized its crap compared to PC...so, JAVA OR BEDROCK?
There is also this project (https://github.com/jhead/phantom) that allows you to create a bridge inside your network such that it looks to your Xbox as if there were a game running on the home network but you can configure it to point anywhere - it will require running the software on a PC, it basically acts as a relay between your home network and whatever server you point it at.

I have a few questions regarding playing with friends on PS4...
The players at remote locations to the server would need to download jhead’s phantom software on GitHub and run it on a pc. This makes their local pc act as a mirror to the dedicated server and makes it look like the server is on the same network as the client, making it show up in the LAN / local games list.

LAN Gyser server not showing on Xbox consoles [Help]
Hi, I am hosting a Minecraft Java Fabric server with Gyser and Floodgate installed to allow Bedrock players to play. The Java ports are forwarded to certain domains so people can join and this works great. I do not have permission from the network administrator to forward UDP ports so I cannot forward the bedrock ports. I am trying to expose the server to consoles and mobile devices using the 'open to LAN feature'. I discovered the 'phantom' project created by 'jhead' on github which pings devices on the network so they believe that the server is open to LAN. This works for mobile (MCPE) users and the server shows my 'friends' list under LAN worlds on my phone however on xbox consoles nothing shows. Any ideas?

A helper app to join a LAN dedicated server if you cannot see it in the Friends tab
Note for anyone who needs to run this on a different machine from the server: phantom should do the trick.

Self Hosting a modded server
As for the server, I went with paper for one main reason: I can't guarantee the kids have a computer or Java. So I run bungee, geyser/floodgate, and viaversion to make it easier to maintain the version between different clients of unsophisticated users. I even have one using Phantom to play on Xbox.

Does anybody here willingly choose to play Bedrock over Java?
There's also this software that proxies a server as a LAN game, which we used for a short time but it wasn't very good for my non-technical friend.

Advice on server/hosting options
Second option is Phantom which is a proxy server you run on a separate device, PC or Raspberry Pi. It basically tricks Minecraft on Xbox to see your server as being on the same home network. It feels more organic to use(as the server just shows up in the list of available server) but it does require the program to run on a computer, whether Windows or Linux, while you play.

[bedrock] I have a java server on my switch with my boyfriend, I updated my game this morning to 1.20.10 but now I cannot connect to any of the featured servers, which allows me to connect to the java server. Anyone have any suggestions?

As a quick option for instant access you could follow this workaround which is helpful to have https://github.com/Pugmatt/BedrockConnect then added the server this way.

Shaders coming to bedrock?
The negatives to self host or third party is that xbox/switch/PS users will need to use a loophole redirect service in order to play, but for our group of players, its been worth it. https://github.com/Pugmatt/BedrockConnect

Which admin software should I use?
On the Xboxen use Bedrock Connect (see How to Join a Bedrock Edition Server on Xbox/Switch, or if you're a tech geek, you can go right to the source at https://github.com/Pugmatt/BedrockConnect).
What are some alternatives?
When comparing phantom and BedrockConnect you can also consider the following projects:
bedrock-unicode-characters - Minecraft:Bedrock Edition Unicode characters
Geyser - A bridge/proxy allowing you to connect to Minecraft: Java Edition servers with Minecraft: Bedrock Edition.
