instead of hamachi, may i suggest zerotier for your gaming needs?
runs on linux, CLI only though, but i found it ptetty intuitive to use. documentation is pretty good too!
the advantage over hamachi (don’t know about tailscale) is peer-2-peer connection, meaning it’s great for gaming with friends for the way lower latency!
the servers only negotiate the pathways between peers, everything else is directly between peers ;)

I was originally looking into zero-tier or Tailscale instead, but all my friends joining me got scared when I mentioned them because they “looked scary and like corporate stuff”, so I just relented. Hamachi doesn’t seem to be morally bankrupt as far as I can tell and there’s native Linux at least, so I’m not sacrificing too much. That 5 player limit though… I’m glad we don’t have more than maybe 4 people
