GM Connection Issues - Tried Everything - Try Hamachi

[Avalastrius]

I just became a subscriber but I have the port forwarding issue of course. So, before I cancel, can this Hamachi work in a Ultimate sub?

Ι now realised how old this is. Apologies.

Yes, it works for any FG license.

Do I have to open a port for it as well? If I have 5 players do I need to pay for it?

I used LogMeIn Hamachi successfully until I made a boneheaded move - one of my players got a new computer and was transferring FG Demo and LogMeIn Hamachi over. I made a (bad) assumption that I should evict his account from his old computer. When he attempted to create a new account on his new computer, he could not join my network. Somehow, it seems to be recognizing his network even though he is trying to create a new account. I couldn't reverse the eviction. Recommendations? I'm thinking about trying a new VPN, maybe a paid version, but would like suggestions. I queried LogMeIn Hamachi for help, but they wouldn't because I am not a paid version.

PureVPN is known as most reliable and I think their Black Friday pricing might be still going. Must have the static IP option.

Hey Jocephus86 - Try create a new Hamachi Network at your end and just provide that to the user. You dont have to move anyone else - your computer just needs to be in both networks.

Though I haven't used it specifically for Fantasy Grounds, I've had a good experience with Torguard. You can get dedicated IPs and have ports forwarded. They seem to have sales often during the holidays.

Looking at the Torguard FAQ:

Do you support port forwarding?

Answer: Yes we do, port forwarding is limited to ports above 2048...

Fantasy Grounds uses port 1802 by default. This wouldn't work out of the box without all FG users using command line switches to change their ports when they run Fantasy Grounds.

PureVPN, with the Static IP Address option, is known to work for Fantasy Grounds without the players having to make any changes on their end.
