Creating a VPN with Hamachi: troubleshooting, setting up tunnels. Troubleshooting Hamachi self-diagnosis Update problem

Despite the efforts of the Hamachi developers to make this program as "friendly" and simple as possible, many users still have difficulty setting it up. By following the instructions below, you can easily set up Hamachi for play or work.

General hamachi setup on Windows
In this article, we will look at how to set up Hamachi 2.2.0.541 - the most up to date. The example demonstrates the setting Hamachi for Windows 7, since this OS is the most common today.

In general, Hamachi does not require any additional configuration, all you need is to install the program, run it, click on the “power on” button (Fig. 1).

After that, you need to connect to the network of interest by clicking "connect to existing network” (Fig. 2) or “network” -> “connect to an existing network” (Fig. 3).

If there are enough free slots in the network, you will connect and see a window with a list of participants (Fig. 5).

In this case, you need to either register for free in the LogMenIn system (Fig. 7), or log in if you already have a LogMenIn account.

If Hamachi does not connect to any network, click "system" -> "options" (Fig. 9).

Select the lowest item on the left panel - "Parameters", find "Encryption" there and set the type to "Any" (Fig. 10).

Then click the “Additional settings” item located at the bottom of the window (Fig. 11).

If you are not using a proxy server, set the corresponding attribute with the "no" flag (Fig. 12).

Please note that when using a proxy, connection problems may be caused by it.

Then resolve names using the mDNS protocol (Fig. 13).

Disable traffic filtering by selecting the "allow all" flag in the corresponding field (Fig. 14).

Enable Virtual Presence Hamachi networks(fig.15).

Confirm the changes made (fig.16).

Close the program and enter it again.

If the above does not help, try temporarily disabling your antivirus.
Also sometimes Hamachi won't connect due to the firewall blocking it.
To turn it off, click " Start» -> Control Panel -> Firewall-> Enabling and disabling the Firewall
(Fig. 17) (Fig. 18) (Fig. 19) (Fig. 20)

Open two arbitrary free ports in your router settings (each specific model The router has its own specifics for opening ports - see the instructions). Then configure Hamachi to use them by setting the local TCP address and local UDP address attributes in the already familiar "advanced settings" window (Fig. 21).

After that, restart the router and restart Hamachi. An important point - when "forwarding" ports, do not mix up the addresses for TCP and UDP protocols!

Special cases of setting up Hamachi
It is worth noting that gamers often use this program to build gaming networks, as well as various organizations to create corporate file sharing systems. In such cases, you should strictly follow the instructions of the gaming community or your company. However, at the same time, you must understand that by deciding to download and install a third-party unofficial distribution of Hamachi, you endanger the security of your PC - unless absolutely necessary, refrain from connecting to such networks.

How to set the language in Hamachi?
Unfortunately, there is no option to choose a language in the program. In order not to run after the dictionary, it is enough that you have the Russian version of Hamachi. If for some reason you need a different language - reinstall the program, after downloading the localization of "hamsters" corresponding to the language you are interested in.

notice, that Hamachi official website provides an opportunity to download only the English version of Hamachi. We can.

Over time, support for older games is terminated, servers are closed and it is not possible to play in multiplayer mode via the Internet. This will help regular gamers Hamachi program, which brings together players from all over the world and creates a local network over the Internet. But what to do if an error occurs during the setup process: VPN status? To avoid further errors, run correct settings programs.

About the program

First of all, Hamachi is a software designed to build a virtual private network (VPN). It creates its own secure local network from PCs connected to the Internet. This creates an emulation local network, which is successfully used by gamers for online games.

Hamachi features:

1. Management and administration of networks.
2. Creation of servers and their connection with gray IP and client PCs.
3. Data protection due to the transmission of encrypted traffic in a peer-to-peer style.
4. Creation of a network with the "Star" topology and with a gateway.

Setting

In case you get a VPN error:

1. Delete old version programs and restart your computer.
2. Go to network connections and check that you do not have a Hamachi network.
3. Install latest version Hamachi and log in to the program.

To set up the program:

1. Right-click on Start → Network Connections → Hamachi Network PMK → Properties.
2. Open IP version 4(TCP/IPv4) → click "Advanced" → in the "IP Settings" tab, in the "Gateway" section, click "Delete".
   
3. In the "Interface Metric" field, enter the value 10 and click "OK".
   
4. Then go to "Control Panel" → " Windows Firewall" and add "LogMeIn Hamachi" to the exclusion list.
   

To eliminate the yellow triangles next to network member names:

1. In the program, click System → Options → Options tab.
2. In the tab opposite the "Encryption" and "Compression" items, set the value to "Disabled" and click OK.
   
3. Restart Hamachi (by turning off and on the button in the program interface).

Tunnel problem

VLAN users are facing an issue with data latency (high ping). It occurs when data is not transferred from computer to computer, but through Hamachi servers. A sign that the connection is not direct is a blue or red icon opposite the network client. In order to get rid of such an error, you need to remove the tunnel through the repeater. To start:

For many games (eg RPG or turn-based strategies) having a ping of 400-500 ms is not critical. This creates minimal discomfort, but in general, the game on the network will be stable.

During the operation of the Hamachi program designed for creating a VPN-networks (virtual secure networks), the user may encounter the message "Incoming traffic blocked, check the firewall settings." This is usually due to the functionality of antivirus programs and firewalls that block correct work Hamachi, but there are times when the cause of this dysfunction is incorrect work the program itself. In this article, I will explain what is the essence of this dysfunction, what are its causes, and how to fix the “Hamachi incoming traffic blocked” error on your PCs.

Use the Hamachi program to create VPN networks

Looking for the source of the problem

As you know, the Hamachi program is designed to create virtual private networks (VPNs), allowing you to create secure networks on the Internet from remotely located computers, thereby simulating the connection between them in a regular local area network.

Particularly popular this program for users who actively use various gaming programs (Vikings, Red Alert 2, Dungeon Siege 3, Ludoria, etc.). With the help of Hamachi, you can play with each other over the network, and this is even when the official game servers are closed for any reason.

The occurrence of the “blocked incoming traffic” error in Hamachi can have the following reasons:

How to fix "blocked incoming traffic" on Hamachi

After I explained what "Incoming traffic blocked in Hamachi" is, let's move on to the question of how to get rid of the error "Incoming traffic blocked, check your firewall settings". I recommend doing the following:

Conclusion

The “Hamachi: Blocked incoming traffic” issue is usually caused by firewall functionality and antivirus program blocking incoming network connection user PC. To fix the “Incoming traffic blocked” problem in Hamachi, I recommend temporarily disabling your firewall and antivirus, and if that doesn’t help, use the alternative tips I suggested above. Usually this allows you to normalize the work the specified program, and continue to enjoy the stable functionality of "Hamachi" on your PC.

– special software, which allows you to build your own secure networks over the Internet. Many gamers download the program to play Minecraft, Counter Strike, etc. Despite the simplicity of the settings, sometimes the application has a connection problem with network adapter, which is fixed quite quickly, but requires some action on the part of the user. Let's see how it's done.

Now we will go into the network settings and make some adjustments to them. Let's check if the problem remains, if so, then update Hamachi to the latest version.

Network connection settings on the computer

1. Go to "Control Panel" - "Network and Internet" - "Network and Sharing Center".

2. In the left part of the window, select from the list "Change adapter settings".

3. Click the tab "Additionally" and go to "Extra options".

If you don't have a tab "Additionally", go to "Organize" - "View" and click on "Menu Bar".

4. We are interested "Adapters and Bindings". At the top of the window, we see a list of network connections, among them is Hamachi. Move it to the top of the list using special arrows and press "OK".

5. Restart the program.

As a rule, at this stage, for most users, the problem disappears. Otherwise, move on to the next method.

Update problem

1. Hamachi provides auto mode updates. Very often, connection problems occur due to incorrect settings in this part of the program. In order to fix it, we find the tab in the main window "System" - "Settings".

2. In the window that opens, in its left part, we also go to "Options" - "Advanced settings".

3. And then in "Basic settings".

4. Here you need to check the box opposite « Automatic update» . Restart your computer. Make sure the internet is connected and working. After launching, Hamachi should itself detect the presence of updates and install them.

5. If the checkbox is present, and a new version was never loaded, go to the tab in the main window "Help" - "Check for Updates". If updates are available, update manually.

If this does not help, then most likely the problem is in the program itself. In this case, it makes sense to remove it and download the latest version from the official site.

6. Please note that standard deletion across "Control Panel" not enough. Such an uninstallation leaves behind various "tails" that can interfere with the installation and use of a newly installed Hamachi. Third party software must be used complete removal programs such as Revo Uninstaller.

7. Open it and select our program, then click "Delete".

8. First, the standard uninstall wizard will start, after which the program will offer to scan for the remaining files in the system. The user needs to select a mode, in this case it is "Moderate", and press "Scan"

After that, Hamachi will be completely removed from the computer. Now you can start installing the current version.

Often, after the actions taken, the connection is made without problems, and the user no longer bothers. If "things are still there", you can write a letter to the support service or reinstall the operating system.

The “doomsday” has come, and Hamachi is not connecting to the network. Why and what to do? First of all, the blame must be placed on the antivirus and firewall. Because after updating them, the exclusion settings may go wrong (may happen as a result of an incorrect shutdown of the PC). Therefore, we re-add Hamachi to the antivirus and firewall exclusion list. Did it help? Then you are amazing! Enjoy playing with your friends.

Did not work? Reinstalling!

Attention! Before installation, you must delete absolutely all files. We go to the Start menu, then to the control panel, we are looking for the item “Add or Remove Programs”. Waiting for the list to load installed applications. Find Hamachi, click on it and select delete.

Check if there are configuration files left:

• Windows XP: Checking the Program files folder for the presence of the Log me in hamachi folder. Found - delete!
• Win 7: Perform the action from the paragraph above. Go to the folder C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local also look for the folder and delete it.

Reinstalling the client. And it's not over yet! After installing a new client, you need to configure the hamachi “Service” to work. Open the "Control Panel" through the Start menu.

We are looking for the administration tab, open it and find the tab of the same name.

We are looking for a service related to Hamachi and set the startup option to “manual”. Turn on

After such a voluminous guide, Hamachi will connect to the network in any case, if only out of respect for you.
