How to Host an Unturned Server with Hamachi

Hello Dev, are you looking to host your own Unturned server but don’t know where to start? Look no further! In this guide, we will walk you through step by step on how to set up and host your own Unturned server using Hamachi. Hamachi is a virtual private network (VPN) that allows you to create a private network and allows you to play multiplayer games with your friends. So, let’s get started!

Step 1: Download and Install Hamachi

The first step is to download and install Hamachi. Hamachi is available for free on their website. Once you download and install it, you will need to create an account. Creating an account is easy and only takes a few minutes.

After you have created an account, launch Hamachi and log in. Once you are logged in, you will see a screen that looks like this:

Step 2: Download and Install Unturned

The second step is to download and install Unturned. Unturned is available for free on Steam. Once you have downloaded and installed it, launch the game.

Before we move on to the next step, make sure to go into the settings and change the server port to 27015. This is the default port for Unturned servers, and we will need to use it later.

Step 3: Create a Hamachi Network

The third step is to create a Hamachi network. To do this, click on the “Network” menu and select “Create a new network”.

Enter a name for your network and a password. Make sure to write down the password, as you will need it later to connect to the network.

Your network should now be listed on the left side of the Hamachi interface.

Step 4: Configure Hamachi

The fourth step is to configure Hamachi. Click on the “System” menu and select “Preferences”.

Under the “Settings” tab, make sure to check the box for “Launch Hamachi on startup” and “Minimize to tray”. Under the “Security” tab, make sure to check the box for “Enable encryption”.

Click “OK” to save your changes.

Step 5: Configure your Firewall

The fifth step is to configure your firewall. Make sure to allow Hamachi through your firewall. This will ensure that your friends can connect to your server.

Windows Firewall

If you are using Windows Firewall, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Control Panel
2. Click on “System and Security”
3. Click on “Windows Firewall”
4. Click on “Allow an app or feature through Windows Firewall”
5. Click “Change settings” and scroll down until you see “LogMeIn Hamachi”. Check the box next to it and click “OK”.

Other Firewalls

If you are using a different firewall, refer to the documentation for that firewall on how to allow Hamachi through it.

Step 6: Start the Server

The sixth step is to start the server. Launch Unturned and click on “Play”. Select “Host” and enter a name for your server.

Under the “Network” tab, select “Internet”. Under the “Security” tab, enter the password for your Hamachi network.

Under the “Visibility” tab, select “Private”. This will ensure that only people in your Hamachi network can connect to your server.

Once you have configured your server, click “Start”. Your server should now be listed in the server browser.

Step 7: Connect to the Server

The final step is to connect to the server. Launch Unturned and click on “Play”. Select “Join” and select “Internet”. Your server should be listed in the server browser.

Enter the password for your Hamachi network and click “Connect”. You should now be able to join and play on your own Unturned server!
