Slow internet speeds after installing Hamachi
I've been having this issue for so long now! For some reason, my internet is blazing fast until I install Hamachi. Certain website downloads are affected but others aren't. for instance, downloading ...

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.

That workaround did not work for me.

My cousing had been troubleshooting this for a few days and after starting to get involved in the troubleshooting the same problem occured on my main computer as well. There was no chance to increase the download above 1.3MBs (got 200/200 connection), unless downloading from a service that uses swarm tech (i.e Steam, Origin etc).
After backtracking we came back to Hamachi and this thread. We finally found the solution that worked for us. It seems installing Hamachin changes the TCP Global Parameters. To check/fix this, do the following:
SOLUTION:
Start -> Run -> CMD (as administrator to buypass the UAC)
then type the following command to show what parameters your current TCP has:
netsh interface tcp show global
This should give you a list over the TCP parameters, the ones Hamachi seems to change are these two:
Receive-Side Scaling State & Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level. Recieve-Side Scaling State was set to 'disabled' and Recieve Window Auto-Tuning Level was set to 'disabled'
Type the following commands in the CMD to change this:
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal (Response should be OK.)
netsh int tcp set global rss=enabled (Response should be OK.)
Reboot shouldn't be needed after, but if you encounter problems do it. We didn't test Hamachi after this because we uninstalled it so I don't know how it works after this change.
I have no idea why Hamachi changes these parameters on some/all computers? When we checked other hosts in our network running the same OS without hamachi these parameters where unchanged and download speed OK.

The solution works great and my download speed is back to normal, BUT I still have the same problem with my UPLOAD SPEED. Any news about how to fix UPLOAD SPEED too?
- xPriority5 years agoVisitor
I worked for me too, thanks a lot but the upload speed got cut in about half after I applied the netsh commands. If there is a fix for this asw please tell us, if not i guess we`ll just have to wait for the next update.
Thanks 🙂

But my Upload is still slow since i installed Hamachi, what can fix this?
- orlandson6 years agoNew ContributorHi everyone,
The solution works great for me and my download speed is back to normal, BUT I still have the same problem with my UPLOAD SPEED. Same as occurred with download speed after installing Hamachi the upload speed is down to half of normal speed.
I think there be similar CMD netsh commands to restore upload speed. Can you help me with this? - AshC6 years agoRetired GoTo Contributor
Hi everyone,
I apologize for the delays, and expect the next version to have native API calls instead of netsh background configurations. Until that time (as mentioned previously), you can run the following commands to resolve:
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal
+netsh int tcp set global rss=enabled - jandafields6 years agoVisitor
This seems to be a bug (or feature?) that other people, including myself, have had. My Internet speed before installing is 200. After installing is 50. After UNINSTALLING is still 50. You have to manually un-do the changes made to your computer that Hamachi made.
Here is the solution:
This solution works for me. Internet went back to 200 after doing this.
I REALLY wish that LogMeIn support would chime in officially regarding this. I have not contacted them myself, but someone else in that thread did, and they reported that support would not acknowledge it.

Thank you so much. I was having so much trouble getting speeds of only 3 Mbps but this actually worked after I spent a few hours trying to figure out what it was and now I am getting a consistent 100 Mbps. You are a savior.
- Former Member6 years agoThank you for your response, it means a lot to me. I’m very happy to help :)

Hello, if you don't know how to do it i made a simple program for it here :
(LMI moderator removed the link to the file as it was flagged by our security team. Please use a service like https://pastebin.com/ to post your code and share it for transparency).
Oh and, this program is 100% safe if you want to see the code ill send it as well just ask for it, it's just simple batch.
Hope this works for you, best regards

Thank you so much.

How do I verify the changes
- sebish6 years agoNew Member
This really is the fix. Love you man!
I cannot believe that something malicious is still available to download. Logmein took hamachi and turned it into a strange looking virus and does not provide any support. I was that close to reinstall windows just because of that *** tool.
Just create a VPN with you routers guys. Never install this.

HOLY CRAP!, This actually solved my internet problems! I've been dealing with internet issues for months now. I would get speeds anywhare from 30 mbps to 200, while my acctual internet speed it about 500 mbps. I now get a solid 500 mbps.
Thank you so much, best regards

That did it. That fixed my VM that I am running it on. I am now getting the speeds I saw before installing Hamachi. Thank you for the help!!!
