Download LogMeIn Hamachi for PC, Windows 11/10 & Mac (Free)

The Hamachi download for Windows 11, Windows 10 and Mac comes straight from vpn.net, the official LogMeIn Hamachi site run by GoTo. Install the client, create or join a network, and computers in different places behave as if they share one LAN.

Hamachi is free for up to 5 computers per network, with as many free networks as you like. Paid plans start at $49 a year for larger networks or for running the client unattended as a Windows service.

Below: the right file for each machine, install steps for every platform, free versus paid networks, fixes and clean removal.

Which Hamachi download do you need?

Match your machine to a row. Mac builds split by macOS version.

Download LogMeIn Hamachi from the official vpn.net site

The Download now button on vpn.net detects your system and starts the right installer. The links below go to the same files.

1. vpn.net, the official Hamachi site — Download now button plus separate Windows, Linux and both Mac links
2. Hamachi for Windows (hamachi.msi) — 13.9 MB · Windows 7 through Windows 11, including ARM64
3. Hamachi for Linux (DEB, RPM and tarball packages) — about 1.5 MB each · 32-bit, 64-bit and ARM beta builds
4. Hamachi release notes — current build numbers for each platform

The Windows MSI is a full installer, not a web stub, so a copy on a USB stick installs offline. Signing in and joining networks still need an internet connection.

Check the Hamachi system requirements before you install

Windows XP, Vista, Server 2003 and Server 2008 stopped at build 2.2.0.633.

Gateway networks do not run on macOS, on Windows Small Business Server editions or on any system deployed in Microsoft Azure.

How to install Hamachi on Windows 11 and Windows 10

These steps install the client in client-only mode, with no LogMeIn account. That is the quickest route for a small free network.

1. Open vpn.net in your browser.
2. Select Download now, or select the Windows link under it.
3. Open hamachi.msi from your Downloads folder.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions until setup finishes. The client starts automatically.
5. Select Network > Create a new network, type a network ID and a password, then select Create.
6. On each other computer, select Network > Join an existing network, type the same ID and password, then select Join.

To manage networks from LogMeIn.com instead, sign in first, switch to Network mode, select Add Client, then Install LogMeIn Hamachi on this computer.

Which Hamachi download do you need for your Mac?

Open the Apple menu and select About This Mac to read your macOS version. Then pick the matching link on vpn.net.

Both current Mac builds run natively on Apple M1 and later chips on macOS 12 Monterey or newer, as well as on Intel Macs.

Install Hamachi on Ubuntu or CentOS from the terminal

The Linux client runs from the command line with fewer features, in client-only mode by default.

1. On Ubuntu, download the package: wget https://www.vpn.net/installers/logmein-hamachi_2.1.0.203-1_amd64.deb
2. Install it: sudo dpkg -i logmein-hamachi_2.1.0.203-1_amd64.deb
3. On CentOS, download the RPM from the Linux page and install it with sudo yum install logmein-hamachi-2.1.0.203-1.x86_64.rpm
4. Sign in to the Hamachi service: sudo hamachi login
5. Optionally attach the client to your account: sudo hamachi attach [email protected]
6. Create a network with sudo hamachi create , or join one with sudo hamachi join .

ARM and ARM HF builds are beta and need an ARMv4T or better processor with the tun/tap driver installed.

Is Hamachi free, and when do you need a paid plan?

The limit is per network, not per account. Five computers fit in each free network, and you can create as many free networks as you need.

Yes. Hamachi is free for networks of up to 5 computers, with no limit on the number of free networks. Standard costs $49 a year and lifts one network to 32 members. Premium costs $199 a year for one network of up to 256 members. Multi-Network costs $299 a year and covers unlimited networks of up to 256 members each. A paid plan is also what lets Hamachi run in the background as a Windows service, so an unattended PC stays online without anyone signing in to Windows.

A lapsed paid network accepts no new members, and only five randomly chosen members stay active.

Choose an unmanaged or managed Hamachi network

Hamachi runs in two modes. A client-only client has no account and manages its own networks. An attached client belongs to a LogMeIn account and its networks are managed on LogMeIn.com.

Use client-only mode for a quick free network between friends. Attach clients to a LogMeIn account when you manage machines for other people or pay for a larger network. Client-only mode needs no sign-up, and the client itself can set network access, delete networks and evict members. An attached client lets you add, restore and deploy clients from the web without visiting each computer, and a LogMeIn ID is required for that. Only account holders can buy subscriptions, so a network larger than 5 computers means signing up.

How to check your Hamachi version and update it

Windows builds do not update themselves in place. You install the new MSI over the old one.

1. On Windows, open Settings > Apps > Installed apps and find LogMeIn Hamachi to read the version number.
2. Compare it with the newest entry on the release notes page.
3. If yours is older, download hamachi.msi again from vpn.net.
4. Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions.
5. On a Mac, the built-in updater handles builds 2.1.0.827 and later. After moving to macOS 15.4 or later, install the 2.3.0.49 build from vpn.net.

Windows 2.4.0.23 fixed dropped packets on ARM64 Windows PCs, so ARM laptops gain the most from updating.

Choose between Hamachi and the other LogMeIn tools

Hamachi joins computers into one virtual network. Remote control of another computer’s screen is a different product.

Is there an offline installer for Hamachi?

How do you download Hamachi for Mac?

Does Hamachi have a 64-bit or ARM64 build?

Yes. The Windows client supports ARM64 Windows 11 PCs since build 2.3.0.106, and the Mac builds run on Apple M1 and later chips. Linux has 32-bit and 64-bit packages, plus ARM and ARM HF builds marked beta.

Why will Hamachi not install on Windows 11?

The usual cause is a ‘Setup has failed’ error from a leftover Hamachi 1.x profile, or from nVidia NIC drivers or Norton managing the network stack. Remove all Hamachi files and registry entries, restart, reinstall, and configure that software to leave the adapter alone.
