LogMeIn's popular VPN solution, formerly known as Hamachi, offers a robust way to securely connect multiple devices across different networks. If you're having trouble setting up Hamachi on your Android device, don't worry! This article will walk you through the process step-by-step.

Prerequisites:

------------

Before we begin:

1. Ensure that you have an active internet connection.

2. Download and install LogMeIn Hamachi from Google Play Store or App store depending upon whether you are using a non-PlayStore device like rooted android devices

3. You should also ensure that the version of hamachi installed on your Android device is up-to-date.

Step 1: Create an Account & Download Profile File

---------------------------------------------

1. Open Google Play Store or Appstore and search for 'LogMeIn HamHamchi'.

2. Click Install to download and install Logmeinhamachiservice.apk file.

3. Once the installation process completes, tap on Done.

Step 2: Enable VPN Service & Configure Profile Settings

----------------------------------------------------------------

1. Open your device's settings app by swiping down from top navigation bar then select 'More' or 'Settings'.

2. Tap on Wireless & Networks (or Connections depending upon Android version).

3. Look for the HamHamchi profile you just created earlier and long press on it.

4. Select Advanced options > Enable VPN toggle button to enable hamachi vpn service.

Step 3: Configure Forwarding Route

-----------------------------

To ensure a stable connection, follow these steps:

1. Go back to your device's main settings app again (Settings).

2. Scroll down until you see 'More' or 'Advanced'.

3. Tap on it and then select 'VPN'. If not found try searching for VPN in the search bar.

4. Now tap on three dots next to hamachi profile that we just created earlier.

For iPhone/iPad:

1. Go to Settings > General > About

2. Scroll down until you see 'Profile' section at bottom of screen; tap 'Profiles & Device Management'

3. Select your organisation name from list above 'DEVICES' heading which will lead you into another page where find profile with same name as what we created earlier earlier.

4. Tap on the blue info icon next to it then select 'Edit'.

For Android devices running Lollipop and later versions:

1. Open Settings > Connections

2. Find More options (three dots) at top right corner of screen; tap on them.

3. Scroll down until you see 'VPN' option under Advanced settings heading; long press on this entry.

Now, depending upon whether your device is connected via Wi-Fi or cellular data:

- For devices connected over WiFi:

- Tap the pencil icon next to 'Use default gateway' toggle button and select 'Manual'.

- Enter `192.168.x.y` (replace x with any number between 0-255) under 'Gateway' field.

- Alternatively, if your device is connected via cellular data:

1. Open Settings > Connections

2. Tap on Mobile Data or Cellular depending upon network operator's branding.

Now follow same steps mentioned above for configuring manual proxy settings as per your carrier requirements.

Step 4: Check & Configure Internet Tethering (Optional)

----------------------------------------------------------------

If you want to share your device's internet connection with other devices via USB tethering, enable the following option:

1. Open Settings > More

2. Scroll down until you see 'Tethering & Hotspot' or simply search for it using the magnifying glass icon at top right corner.

3. Toggle on the switch next to 'USB Tethering'.

Troubleshooting Tips:

-------------------

If after completing all these steps, your device still can't connect to the internet via HamHamchi:

1. Ensure that you have properly configured both local and remote VPN server addresses in your router's DDNS settings.

2. Try restarting your Android device or even resetting its network preferences completely by going into Settings > About phone (or tablet) > System update > Reset all data & cache.
