Hamachi
-
Okay, time to install this beast.
Can you tell me how we can get a tunnel connected for testing?
-
I created one for testing.
Network name: pfsense
Password: pfsense -
It should turn green if the connection is good. Yellow if there is a problem.
-
Edit the outgoing rule and remove the source port.
Then make sure the magic option is enabled in Hamachi.
-
Well as a follow up, I tried to set it up at my work and home (both running pfSense).
No matter what I tried, I could not get it working.
Sorry!

I have been trying everything suggested, without any luck.

I tired manually entering every combo of rule found in the Hamachi forum and nothing seems to work.
Not really sure whats going on, the Hamachi developers are going to have to give us better examples of how to make this work and they will also need to clarify why they feel that PF "over locks nat" down.
-
I'll poke at this over the weekend and see if I can figure out what's wrong with the NAT. We aren't using static-port as they suggest, but we should have been forcing the source port to be what was specified.

I got it working with a 1:1.
-
Remove all prior outbound nat rules and nat port forwards pertaining to Hamachi previously setup
-
Add a Firewall -> NAT -> 1:1 to your computer
-
enable magic option in Hamachi
-
add a firewall rule to the magic port with your internal ip. the default is 12975

Erg, I hate to reply w/in an hour of the last reply, but I think I see the problem. We are going to need static-port, the implementation of that will need to be somewhat carefully thought out as it's very easy to hose stuff up (windows doesn't use terribly random source ports, conflicts are guaranteed). 1:1 nat (for those with more than one IP) might be an option - or for those with only one machine behind pfsense.

I must thank you all for testing this, i know that you all have limited time for supporting something that isent pfsense specific.
This is much appreciated! -
Well I got it working using 1:1. I have multiple static IPs from my ISP. I set up a second one as a vitrual IP and then used that IP 1:1 to the computer I want to use Hamachi on.
So this is a workable situation for me, because I have multiple static IPs. But I have a friend who gets one dynamic IP, and this wouldn't work for him because his PC could do 1:1 but then his other PCs couldn't get out. -

I'll work on this for 1.1, the NAT code is so important that we can't really risk breaking it in the middle of the beta cycle (unless it was actually broken).
We have a number of checks in place to stop 1:1 NATs being used on the same external address as an oubound nat, but play around a little bit, I suspect you might be able to create the 1:1, then create an outbound nat using the same address (just using Interface Address). It might work depending on how we order the NATs in the rule file (I can't recall if we put binat first or nat - the order obviously makes a huge difference in packet matching :))

Only one of you needs to do the 1:1 trick.
I left my work machine off of a 1:1 and I am still green to it.
-
I see that you are working on som static port? http://cvstrac.pfsense.com/chngview?cn=9024
Is this a solution to the Hamachi problem??
-
Yep
-
It's working using Outbound NAT in PREBETA2-BUGVALIDATION4 (yeah the one that's been pulled from the server…)
I set it up like this:
And as noted in other posts, set the Hamachi > Preference > System > Magic Option to that default port.
Works great here with no other added rules, etc!!
I'm not sure which pfSense Version is the first to have the Outbound NAT with the Static-port option, but it works in this build...
Otherwise perhaps update yours from the cvstrac link in an earlier post in this thread...
And just an update:
If you have more than 1 Hamachi client behind your firewall, set each one to a different port, and then add that port to the Outbound NAT just like the first one. Make sure the rule ends up above the "Default" Allow All rule as is pictured on the bottom in the second linked screenshot.
-
Great to hear! This option was added right after beta 1 was released so its included in all the pre-beta2 images.
-
I am running the 1.0-BETA1-TESTING-SNAPSHOT-2-20-06 and I can't get this to work for me. I have my configs the same way as the screenshots and my Hamachi still doesn't connect. What version of Hamachi are you running? I can't get a newer version than 1.39 anywhere, everyone mirrors back to Hamachi's servers. Any other ideas?
-
Works for every version of the Ham I've used, starting from 0.99.xx up to most recent.
Did you remember to set the "Magic option"?
If you're running Windows XP SP2, did you make sure the firewall is opened on it? (Or if you're running some other system firewall…)
Did you make sure the Outbound NAT option that you added is above the default "allow all" rule?Maybe send us a screenshot of your Outbound NAT screen. (Alt+PrintScreen on Windows will capture only the active window to the clipboard, then just paste it into M$ Paint, or another Image Program if you have it...)
Hope this helps! :D
