Hamachi vpn app won't start on macOS with M2 processor. How can I solve it?

Hamachi won't start after installing. Engine start error. I downloaded the client from the official site. Also I tried to use the package with "brew". Hamachi vpn app won't start on macOS with M2 processor. How can I solve it?

      it doesn't seem like they want to fix it. GlennD thinks that saying "it won't be supported" is a solution.

       

      so many people are asking for this to be solved, and i'm not sure why they don't want to solve it. everyone is back in the office and this makes this capability even more critical.

       

      never mind the fact that many tech companies appear to be moving to ARM-based designs.

      So it seems the company has no plans to update the app for all the ARM versions of MacOS... can you at least help us by guiding us how to configure manually the VPN service on MacOS? I've tried it with the configuration file like on iPhone and iPad but it cannot connect to the server (I think there's a problem validating the certificate with the server).

       

      Thanks a lot!

        ITadminJ gradarius - just tried installing hamachi on windows 11 through parallels - appears to work just fine now. you may have to reinstall (so install twice after you've attached to your network). it would work just like zerotier would (so no new network connection on windows).

         

        i tried it on macos a few months ago via a parallels VM so maybe it works now. perhaps give it a try.

         

        now to give it a spin on windows 11 for surface 9 ARM - i hope it works - those are expensive machines!

      1) Do you have plans to fix it? If yes, then when?

      2) There are any ways to use the soft on the platform?  With a package, a docker, or something else. We have several premier groups with access to our devices. But one of the specialists has such a computer. Do we need to abandon the specialist or switch to an alternative (like a zerotier)?

        At this time I am not aware of any plans to support the newer versions of MacOS.

      this is not a solution.

       

      it just states that there are no plans to add support, even if the customer base would very much like support to be added -- for years now!

    it doesn't seem like it's been resolved on macOS just yet. it's still using installer from 2019. for now, it would seem like windows 11 ARM is supported, but need more testing.

     

    windows 11 on parallels appear to be working as well.

     

    network configuration on windows 11 ARM doesn't look like the configuration on x86 installs. it doesn't install a network adapter hence no way to mark it as a private network vice public, so adding an ARM machine on network (to remote in) may not work just yet.

     

    previous versions (as of a month ago) did install a network adapter similar to zerotier, so maybe they're still playing with configurations. hopefully macOS support will come at some point.

     

    either way, these are all improvements in the right direction in supporting ARM.
