After applying the fixes, verify the connection status:
The Hamachi relayed tunnel issue can occur due to several reasons, including:
This report outlines the technical steps required to convert a Hamachi connection status from a to a Direct Tunnel . A "Relayed Tunnel" indicates that traffic is being routed through LogMeIn’s public servers, resulting in high latency, lag, and reduced throughput. A "Direct Tunnel" indicates a successful peer-to-peer (P2P) connection, offering optimal speed and lowest latency.
Hamachi is aging. Modern alternatives handle NAT better:
If it is not on the list, click , browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\LogMeIn Hamachi\hamachi-2.exe , and add it. Click OK to save.
Run a secondary VPN (like ZeroTier, Tailscale, or OpenVPN) between the two clients. Then, configure Hamachi to route over that virtual network.
After completing these steps, direct tunnels should begin working.
Wait for Hamachi to probe and reconnect; this often clears the "yellow triangle" or "blue dot" status. 2. Allow Hamachi Through Windows Firewall
Navigate to the Hamachi bin folder: cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\LogMeIn Hamachi" (or cd "C:\Program Files\LogMeIn Hamachi" for 64-bit)
The resolution typically involves configuring port forwarding, managing firewall exceptions, and diagnosing Network Address Translation (NAT) restrictions.
Access your router's admin panel by typing your gateway IP (usually 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 ) into a web browser. Log in using your router credentials. Look for , NAT Forwarding , or WAN settings. Locate the UPnP setting and switch it to Enabled . Save changes and restart your router. Step 2: Configure Port Forwarding for Hamachi
In the field, type 1 or 10 . This forces Windows to treat the Hamachi network with high priority. Click OK on all windows to apply the changes. Step 5: Disable Third-Party Antivirus Firewalls
Hamachi is a decade-old tool. If you keep hitting relayed tunnels, consider migrating to ZeroTier or Tailscale . They handle NAT traversal much more gracefully.
