That is not a sane option, as setting up the broad spread smart router is not a problem at all, if you take your time to understand what happens when someone connects to your computer from the outside. (Internet)
You only need to tell your router to forward port 4242 to your computer.
As your router does not know which computer in the LAN is waiting for that connection.
So it takes 5-30 minutes ONCE to have this error solved forever.
And never need to use Hamachi again.
As this has some BIG security risks to your system, unless you can totally guarantee the following:
- every user in your Hamachi group, is 100% thrustworthy
- you don't have any shares in your local network, no NAS, no printers
- the group is pass worded or invite only and the password is strong enough to form a good barrier
- you set up your personal firewall to see the Hamachi adapter (remember: virtual third party program on your computer working for you, for free... do you really expect it does this without any 'gain' for the company that takes over the connectivity management?) as direct connection to the internet,
- you should know all ports used by this, and form strict rules to not give your hardware firewall (also known as router) an easy bypass to just jump into your system,
(and this ON DEVICE LEVEL, not just a program without admin privileges, you made it ADMIN+ level with installing it into your system hardware!)
And I really have the opinion most people using Hamachi are too lazy to set up the router, and also do not set up the firewall correctly to compensate the big hole in security you have with it running.
Sure there is a dark-zone, with people that have the router locked, and have to admit the drawbacks of Hamachi, but those know and take the effort to secure the system, those will never run into a problem like the one in this thread.
So as I still expect this to be a firewall issue, please get a predictable game state or clean/wipe your StarMade/logs directory and try 1-3 times to connect to a server, then zip the whole directory and attach it here.
