Giving the author the benefit of the doubt, that's probably how I'd do it. Not hosting the Wii in a datacenter, but set up a VM as a proxy, as to not expose my home internet connection to the world.
You're not going to win an points with the family when they can't stream Disney+ because you had to expose a webserver running on that old Wii to the internet, using your home internet connection.
I'd assume so, but if you already have a VM running your blog normally, then you can just have nginx/apache/haproxy/varnish/whatever you use forward the traffic, and once you're done point it back to the "real" blog on the same VM once your experiment is done.
