How to Port Forward Hamachi in New Zealand Like a Pro

Greetings, tech enthusiasts! Today, we’re diving deep into the intricate world of Hamachi port forwarding.

It sounds tricky, but don’t worry, I’ll explain it in super easy steps.

So let’s understand what port forwarding is. Imagine your computer is a house, and the internet is a busy street. Ports are like doors in your home. Port forwarding is like putting up a sign so your friends know which door to knock on to visit you.

Why is Port Forwarding Necessary?

When utilizing Hamachi, it may become necessary to configure port forwarding within your router. Port forwarding serves the purpose of establishing a direct connection from the internet to Hamachi. 

Typically, routers are designed to block incoming network requests as a default security measure.

By forwarding ports, you are good to go. Its purpose is to establish a direct pathway from the vast internet straight to Hamachi.

What are the Benefits of Port Forwarding?

Enabling port forwarding on your router can bring several advantages and open up possibilities for your network. Here are a few key reasons why you should consider enabling port forwarding:

• Enhanced Connectivity
• Hosting Services
• Multiplayer Gaming
• Remote Access, and more.

Does Port Forwarding Leak Your IP?

Port forwarding alone does not lead to IP address leakage. However, it’s worth noting that if an unauthorized individual manages to gain access to a forwarded port, they may be able to identify your public IP address. 

It is high time to employ a reliable VPN (Virtual Private Network) solution to mitigate risks and update your network and devices’ security.

Some Basic Requirements to Get Started

To start port forwarding Hamachi, you will need the following:

• Access to your router’s configuration settings.
• The IP address of your router and computer, find it in the device’s settings.
• A static port configuration for Hamachi.
• Knowledge of networking concepts.

How to Port Forward Hamachi: Step-by-Step Guide 

Here are the simple steps to port forward Hamachi:

• Open the Hamachi application on your computer.
• Join an existing Hamachi network or create your own. Note down the network ID and password for future reference.
• In Hamachi, your computer will have a Hamachi IP address. You can find this by looking at the main Hamachi window.
• Go to your browser and insert the router’s IP address into the address bar. Usually, this is something like 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1. You might need to enter your router’s username and password. Check your router’s manual for the default login credentials.
• Inside your router settings, locate the port forwarding section. This might also be under “Advanced Settings” or something similar, depending on your router model.
• Add a new port forwarding rule. Enter a name for the rule (it could be anything to help you identify it later). Enter the Hamachi IP address of your computer in the appropriate field.
• Hamachi uses specific ports for communication. Enter these port numbers in both the starting and ending port fields.
• Save the changes and restart your router. This step is crucial; sometimes, changes don’t take effect until the router is rebooted.
• You can use various online tools or software to check if the ports are successfully open.

Some steps may vary depending on your router model and firmware version.

Required Hamachi Ports

For Hamachi to function correctly, you typically need to forward the following ports:

• UDP: 12975
• UDP: 32976
• UDP: 17771

These ports need to be forwarded to your router settings to ensure Hamachi can establish connections and function as intended.
