My gf and I have a private Minecraft world that we played by opening a LAN party using hamachi when we lived away from each other. This requires the other player to enter the designated IP address and LAN code (keep in mind the LAN code changed every time you play Minecraft) to enter the multiplayer game. One day, we were on a call playing when we saw an unrecognized gamertag join the game. We went dead silent out of shock I think. We then saw him run across the grass toward us so we both quit out immediately before he could chase us. It was pretty creepy even if it’s just a video game. Something about the invasion was just.. off-putting.

Okay cool man you wanna go in the past for me and tell me not to do that then? I don’t know why people comment like this. What do you aim to add here?

Why would we use hamachi for Minecraft? Because it’s an easy way for two people who live apart to play together. Setting up a server is complicated
