What does the yellow / cyan (blue) status indicator in LogMeIn Hamachi mean? Yellow or cyan status means that Hamachi cannot establish direct peer to peer tunnel between you and respective peer. This is not a bug, but rather an artifact of core Hamachi technology that occurs roughly in 3-5% of all cases.The underlying reason is in a combination of NAT/router/firewall devices on both ends. Therefore you may see cases when for A, B and C peers, A can talk to B, B can talk to C, but A cannot talk to C.The steps below will allow you to overcome this issue. Please ensure you have the latest version of Hamachi before proceeding.Option #1 - Port ForwardingSelect some UDP port, say, 12345Forward this port from the network interface on your router that hooks up to the Internet to the machine that is running Hamachi.Information on port forwarding for your specific router can be found at http://portforward.comOpen Hamachi Preferences, go to Detailed Configuration, and set the UDP port to 12345.Reconnect HamachiWhat this option does is it forces Hamachi to use the specified UDP port as a local port for all its peer to peer traffic.Option #2 - (if not already on Premium or a trial)Upgrade to a Premium account and our system will take care of relayingthe traffic between you and other people when no direct connectivity isavailable.The traffic between you and your peers will remain encrypted end-to-end, and it will possess all cryptographic protection properties of a direct peer to peer connection. The only thing that will change is that it will be sent via 3rd network node - a relay - that is accessible from both peers.We maintain a number of relays and whenever the tunnel is being setup,the system will select the one that delivers fastest possible transmission.When the tunnel is relayed, you will see a peer marked with a blue statusindicator instead of a green one.For more information on Premium accounts check out - http://premium.hamachi.cc
