My friend and I want to play modded Minecraft together. We used to use Hamachi when we both had windows machines. Now Hamachi just isn't working. We can connect and communicate on the LAN we made, but I can't connect to the direct connection. There aren't any error messages that help. It just says it couldn't connect. I have a steamdeck and my friend has a Windows desktop. I've done research about it and I am thoroughly lost on what to do. We want to try to do this for free or hella cheap.

Has anyone here encountered this issue and found a workaround or anything?

Try using Tailscale, it's an overlay network that acts similar to Hamachi. It's totally free for up to three users and you can just use your Minecraft Microsoft email to sign up.

Tailscale

It works on all platforms and is fast, easy, and secure. And you don't need to do anything sketchy with your router like opening ports.
