Hamachi Port Forwarding: All You Need To Know

f you want to use Hamachi, then you need to make sure that everyone who wants to play has Hamachi installed on their device. There are two potential issues with this.  

  1. Firstly, Hamachi is only available for Windows, Mac, and Linux devices. You can’t use it with your PS4 or Xbox consoles. Secondly, Hamachi is only free for up to six users. 
  2. After that, you have to pay, although the prices are very reasonable.

Setting up Hamachi is very easy.  Once you’ve downloaded it, you need to configure your server-properties file.  The settings are:

  • server-IP – leave this blank
  • server port – leave this as default (25565)

You may need to set online-mode to false but then again you may not. If one way doesn’t work, try the other.

Then open up Hamachi, and if necessary, create a new network. Make a note of your Hamachi IP address (not your regular one) and give this to the other players.
