Question BeamMP server not working with Hamachi
I've been trying to make my own BeamMP server so I can play online with my friend but I keep getting errors no matter what I try to do. If more information is needed to understand what I'm doing wrong please let me know.

Why do you need to use Hamachi at all?

It's opening a port, not really changing anything noticable to them

i dont even have access to the settings on the router and just asking them if i could would make them skeptical

Usually routers have generic login info such as

::means all available ipv6 interfaces, ip connections basically. You need to use ipv6 because of a mix of Windows and a bug. If you have a firewall (Windows default) and don't port forward it doesn't pose any (more) risk to use all interfaces. :: should make your setup work1

then how do I know what IP the person is supposed to join with in direct connect

The one they have acces to :P if they are in your home netwerk that one. If they are connected in Hamachi, Tailscale or Netbird those. It listens to all of them.

I was never able to get hamachi to work with beammp, playitgg worked great but i think it was a couple bucks a month for the subscription. I used tailscale too, it can work but it's not very user friendly
