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

[gradarius]

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?

Hi @gradarius,

Hamachi is not yet supported on macOS Big Sur, macOS Monterey, and macOS Ventura.

There are currently no plans on adding support.

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)?

[GlennD]

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

@GlennD- I think GoTo needs to fix this. Many users have since moved on to ZeroTier when Hamachi has worked really well before. Any Mac from 2020 hasn't worked. @tlagrone has posted multiple work-arounds but they're not ideal.

Hi everyone !

I don't believe that Goto don't have plans to Hamachi start to work on M1/M2 processors !
M1 processors exists since 2020  !!

Come on guys !!! Let's ask to Goto fix this issue ASAP !!!!

I agree. @GlennD - can we get someone from Goto fix the issue? It seems that Windows ARM at least got some work done.

I continue to pay subscription because it's still faster than ZeroTier or Tailscale for Windows, and it's far better compared to other VPN services out there. I'm slowly migrating away since Goto doesn't seem to care, and a majority of people have switched to ZeroTier. The lag for me just isn't cutting it with ZeroTier or Tailscale. PIA through WireShark works great, except the roaming IPs that get refreshed every 5 hours.

At this point, if Goto can't fix it in the next year, I'll just cancel my subscription. Although Hamachi is much more convenient at scale, Goto just doesn't seem to care, even for paying customers. They'd rather upscale you to $800 when all you really need is a VPN, but in reality, I can always take the AWS route, which is also far more responsive. Unfortunately, I don't use Hamachi for gaming.

I did cancel  my subscription earlier this year but half of my distributed network hasn't migrated away just yet. It's so much easier to install the app than migrate away.

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!

An anyone encounter this issue with Hamachi that is not connecting when using a Mac with M1 or M2 Chip?

Does GoTo is working on a solution?  do they have any date when is this going to be fixed?
