In-Game Hamachi Support Thread - Zombie Grinder

Some people currently do not know, or can't port forward on their router for whatever reason, and still wish to play multi-player. The easiest option for these people is using a VPN program like Hamachi. In most games to connect to a server you use a console command to directly connect to the Hamachi ip if you are in the host's network. A simple GUI for entering the Hamachi ip will be greatly appreciated and will offer more ways of connecting to other people. Another option for something like this is Tunngle. The main difference here is to enter a Hamachi network you need to know the network's name and password, where with Tunngle you can make game, specific networks where people will host. I think this addition will bring a greater audience to playing multi-player and will allow people to play who can't port-forward or don't have the know how. Thank you for your time.

*Sadly as I can't post links you will have to find the information on these programs yourself.

*points to manual IP button in join game menu*

I did notice that. . The problem is it is not allowing me to connect from manual ip. When you host without port forwarding, it redirects you to an IP that isn't your local IP, correct? If so the reason it isn't working is because Hamachi is set up to work off of your local IP and thus would cause complications. Thank you for your time.

I am not a big fan of Hamachi, but I could post a tutorial on port forwarding if you wish? It's very simple on Windows. Not sure about Mac or Linux though as you need to use the CMD to find your IPV4 Address ...

That would be very much appreciated. I have had problems with my router in the past and that is the reason why I turned to Hamachi.

I too would really like to know if anyone knows how to set up the game with hamachi so I could host open games, there aren't nearly enough of those and I'd really like to have one going whenever I'm on... But it says I'm locked out and need to port-forward, normally I use hamachi for that, but I don't know how to config ZG with hamachi to make that happen.

ZG currently does not send out LAN beacons, so the server browser will not show any servers running on the LAN (eg. running on a hamachi peer). However you should be able to connect to them fine (I do most of my testing between 2 computers on my LAN).

Just get someone on hamachi to host a game, go to join game, click manual ip, enter their details and try connection. That should potentially work fine, though I haven't tested it.

I found a answer to how to make a hamtchi server first you use you hamtchi ip example 12.345.678 then you enter the port 12975 and then you host give you IP and port number to your friends then they can join make sure you havent got firewall or any antivirus blocking the game or no one can join hoped this help
