HABS Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 This is a guide to use and setup Hamachi https://secure.logmein.com/products/hamachi/vpn.asp?lang=en 1. Download from link 2. Install basic version 3. Create username 4. join network group: ippon-team password: turbosliders and or: network group: nhl94p2p password: monkeytime 5. leave open while using gens 6. allows anybody (who normally cant host, because of router/ports etc) to play and host p2p 7. Use your hamachi IP address when hosting, it shows this in the large numbers at the top. Copy it down and the port you are using to host in Gens, ie 5.128.44.132:27888 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metzgerism Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Does this work with the P2P app or the original Kaillera? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceStorm70 Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Sweet! How has performance been? Habby and I played a bunch last night. Connection seemed solid as hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scribe99 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 It's a nice solution for those who can't access their routers. I've used it and its super easy to setup and all that. I would like some more performance tests with it, because the free version does encrypt all data, which means it could be slightly slower than standard p2p through port forwarding. But with how fast p2p is, the difference may be negligible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegr8199 Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 I finally tried this and its pretty damn good. Not much different then P2P connection, but my only question is... WHY DONT MORE PEOPLE USE IT INSTEAD OF CLIENT Sorry about the caps, but client sucks so bad and doesnt allow to play the game to its fullest.

I agree. The connection is just as good as p2p. I think it actually establishes a direct (p2p) connection under-the-hood. Playing on a server (SCD, daroms..) now is ridiculous. The only reasons to play on a server are 1) you're playing 2on2 2) the hamachi/p2p connection is bad (i've had a couple matches where server was actually better.. but it's rare) 3) you want to talk to random people in the server waiting room? 4) maybe people on different coasts get better connections on a server in the middle? I don't think so, though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqualizard Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 I agree. The connection is just as good as p2p. I think it actually establishes a direct (p2p) connection under-the-hood... Ok, is it generally accepted that using Hamachi is as good as directly connecting to each other without Hamachi (using old school client-server connection)? Is there proof? Or is this more of a hunch? (I ask because I play Atomic a lot, and we are having a ton of hiccups lately, and I am exploring other options besides Hamachi.)

smozoma Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 P2p over Hamachi is better than client/server. P2p over Hamachi should be just as good as p2p without it, because I think it's the same connection in the end (Hamachi just makes it possible to establish the connection without configuring your router) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
