We remove the tunnel through a repeater in Hamachi

Games on the local network have always been popular. In the same cases, when it is not possible to stretch the wire (for example, your partner in another city), a program such as Hamachi is useful. It creates a virtual local network, which allows you to enjoy the passage of cooperative campaigns.

True, people who decide to use this way can be trapped by an unpleasant problem - a tunnel through a repeater. This means that for some reason, access directly to another computer is impossible, and the connection goes through the servers of the program. This seriously reduces the quality of communication and often leads to the impossibility of playing on the network.

The problem is common, but, fortunately, in most cases solvable. A typical sign that the connection is not direct and a tunnel is created through the repeater is a blue indicator in front of the name of the network member. Ideally, the indicator should be green. In new versions of the program, it became possible to ping contacts in the network list. If the ping does not pass, then messages about exceeding the time of the request will appear - this is a clear sign of the problem.

First of all, check the anti-virus on both computers, built-in firewalls need constant monitoring, otherwise they have a habit of blocking Hamachi. The repeater is deactivated as soon as you get a stable connection to the partner over the network. Try to disable the protection, and if after that the connection is unstable, go to the program setup.

In the Hamachi settings, look for "Network Properties" and disable "Encryption." In addition, run the program only on behalf of the administrator (like the game). Then, with a high degree of probability, the program will not create a tunnel through the repeater. In general, Hamachi is a pretty naughty program, so sometimes it creates a tunnel even if the connection can be established directly. Usually this happens with a slow connection at one of the network participants.

Among other things, it is worth checking the settings of the router, if you understand this, or call specialists: here everything depends only on the degree of your awareness. To give advice in this case is meaningless, because Reasons "on that side" can be as many as you want. Without understanding the principles of operation and customization, you can easily break something, and then the problems will become more serious.

In this case, not always the tunnel through the repeater is bad, because Some games lack the quality that the Hamachi server provides. If the connection suits you, then why change something? If the problem is not eliminated: neither by your efforts, nor by the provider, then, alternatively, change the company that provides you Internet services. Of course, this will give you some inconvenience at first, but quality communication is worth it.

The tunnel through the repeater is an extremely unpleasant problem, which should be eliminated as soon as possible. Another thing is that the price of the question can vary from 15 minutes of your time, to a cardinal change of the provider. Be ready for this. Remember, it's better to sit for a couple of days without the Internet, but later forget about the problems with the connection forever.
