That sounds like an issue your friend's or your internet connection. Try connecting to an empty server to verify that.

Then the issue is probably from your friend's or your ISP. Many low cost tier plans choke you internet speeds.

You need a Direct Tunnel (green dot), and the server needs to set the console command "sv_lan 0", not 1 (which only applies to the Class C range 192.168.).

The host also needs to check their Network Adapter Priority and make sure the hamachi adapter is at the top.

In-game clients connect with the console command 'connect 25.x.x.x', although adding your friends IP to Favorites might work too.

well - the issue lies way down in the net-code
Hamachi tries to establish a VPN - but with a class A type IP (5.xxx.xxx.xxx) wich isn't allowed by GoldSrc-engine in LAN-mode - wich only allows class C type (192.168.0.0/24) wich Hamachi doesn't provide
so to get it working sv_lan needs to be set to 0 on the host (by un-check the mark at lan-game) so it allows the whole ipv4 range

so I set that hamachi adapter on top but it doesn t work then I tried other to set on top and then I realise that it doesn t save when I go back to it then it s set on default or it s because I don t know how to spell LAN in my language so I don t know wich one it is

Why the hell do people play games over VPNs these days?

two reasons
1) they're to stupid
2) they don't have admin-control over the physical net

i could extend this list with
3) software doesn't support not-class-c-type net (like HL when sv_lan 1)
4) old ipx software (like c&c)
but that's kinda cheat-ish reasons and in some cases just needed to provide access of old software to modern net-infrastructure
