Slow internet speeds after installing Hamachi

    Try this to check the status of Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level

    netsh interface tcp show global

    and if it is disabled, turn it on with

    netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal

    This helped me and two mates. The settings need to be run with admin rights cmd  (and shift+ctrl when you run it).

    As far as we understand it you would most likely want Receive-Side Scaling State enabled as well.

    netsh interface tcp set global rss=enabled

    We have not tested Hamachi after changing these settings. Nevertheless, just wanted to share because this problem was making us crazy.

So I'm not the only one! Yeah I tried EVERYTHING to get my speeds back, I finally got frustrated and reinstalled Windows on my PC, and found an alternative for Hamachi. I will never use Hamachi again because of this issue that was only fixed by a clean OS install. Not sure if I'm allowed to mention what I use now, so message me if you're curious :)

    Yeah it's a real bummer! I tried to talk to support and they just tried to convince me it wasn't Hamachi doing this -.- Alright I'll just say it here lol I switched to Radmin VPN after restoring my system, never had a problem after that! www.radmin-vpn.com

      Yeah... Like you said. Did last night a clean install and use radmib VPN now.
      Everything is just fine now!

      Thank you bro, you helped me a lot.
      A repair install didn't work for windows.

      So you really need to install the hole thing from the beginning
