i've been hosting MC Servers for about 2 years, and servers in general for 3.
when i want to make a server on my computer if i cant afford a host at the time, i have to port forward for that game.
Port forwarding takes about 1-2 minutes ~_~
Also, your "port forwarding" cant break.As many people have said, you probally screwed something up.No offense.I've never had trouble with port-fowarding, and i've been through plenty of ISPs and Routers.

If you want me to try to fix your problem, feel free to add me on skype

For some people, their Ipv4 address is not static and have to portforward everytime it changes, whether it be random time mid-day or sometime 2 days later.

Guys, guys, guys! Larvitar uses Hamachi because the server is not even in full "Swing" yet! The server is still currently being worked on and he does not want to release everything yet, so he kinda keeps the server in a low profile! ALSO, I have tried using that goddamn portforward shit, and while I was screwing around on that I screwed up something really bad with my DNS, and now my internet provider wont let me on ANYTHING! NO MINECRAFT GODDAMN SERVER! Nothing works. I figured out I NEED to use hamachi to play on ANYTHING!
Thank you.

Using it shows 2 things

1. you are too lazy or too stupid to portforward

2. If you can't do the above, you should never own a minecraft server.

I'm pretty sure that Hamachi makes another ip so that people that join the server won't need to know your ip. So I don't see why is so bad.

(Even tough I use a server hoster/ my forwarded server)

It's not hate if they're providing valid reasons as to why people don't want it, which I should I point out, seems to be the desired answer of the question in the title. I don't know what kind of thing you were expecting from something titled, "what is everyones problem with hamachi??". Call me wierd for thinking this, but expected people to state why they don't like it.

No one has called you stupid, they just told you port-forwarding is not a 'thing' that can be broken.

Also, you seem overly hostile towards slight, yet constructive criticism.

#cheapmyass all of my friends use it to connect to each otheres servers b/c its fast and also sort of adds an extra security to your servers if thier not whitelist b/c even if someone knew your ip they cant join your server without knowing your network info.

larvitar99my port forwarding broke


Port forwarding is a verb. Not a noun. So it can't break. If you're talking about your router or your modem, you wouldn't be here.

It's probably just that you can't find your password for it...
I had that problem once... I eventually guessed and got it... But I didn't know what I typed, so when my IPV4 changed, I was done with the server business...


And Hamachi is annoying. You have to install a program to play on servers. And some people (Me) have very small hard drives (Only 72 GB) who don't want to use up any more space.

However, Hamachi is good for one thing:
People can connect to singleplayer worlds in LAN mode. That way, you can play a minigame without needing to download the server files.

you would need hamachi if the server isnt one of two things.

#1 -hosted by a company such as mcprohosting

#2 -port forwarded from your own router(my port forwarding broke so now i have to use hamachi. #sadface)

Negative.
You can access any server not hosted if its correctly set up with a portforward.
