About Hamachi :
LogMeIn Hamachi is a zero-configuration virtual private networking (VPN) application. In other words Hamachi is a program that allows you to arrange multiple computers into their own secure network just as if they were connected by a physical network cable. Hamachi is fast, secure and simple. Its core version is also free.
Hamachi is frequently used for gaming and remote administration. The vendor provides free basic service and extra features for a fee.
Hamachi Features
* Hamachi gives you LAN over the Internet. Virtually any application that works over local/home networks can also be used over Hamachi networks.
* Hamachi is a zero-configuration virtual private networking application with an open security architecture and NAT-to-NAT traversal capabilities.
* Hamachi is secure. All Hamachi communications are encrypted and authenticated with industry-standard algorithms and protocols. Nobody will be able to see what two Hamachi peers are talking about. Not even us.
* Great effort went into designing and polishing the Hamachi user interface. The result is sleek, simple and intuitive; yet still very functional. Everything you need, nothing you don't.
* Hamachi software contains no spyware, bannerware or any other -ware unrelated to its purpose. And it never will.
TUTORIAL:
Getting Started
If you have not already done so, you will need to download the LogMeIn Hamachi software.
The installation process is straightforward. Once setup has finished, Hamachi detects if you are running the program for the first time and will run a Quick Guide for new users to acquaint themselves with the program basics. By following this guide, you will be set up with a Hamachi address.
For more information, please download our Getting Started Guide. (pdf)
Creating a Network
Using Hamachi begins with the creation of a network. You do this by selecting the Networks button and then the Create new network option.
In the Create new network dialog box, you will need to name your network and create a password. The network name should be unique and is limited to 64 characters in length. The password - or pass phrase - should be something that only you know and is very hard to guess - the security of your network is dependent on it. There is no limit to the length of the passphrase. Once you have done this, click Create and the network now appears in the Hamachi client.
Joining a Network
The next step is to have other computers join you network. On a computer other than the one used to create the network, click on the Networks button. In the menu that appears, select Join existing network.
The Quick Guide gives you an example network to join, however, in the above example, the name and passphrase of another network: MyPrivateNetwork, have been entered. The next step is to select Join. The network then appears in the Hamachi client, showing that you have joined it.
Leaving a Network
Leaving a network created by someone else is done by right clicking on a network in the client, and selecting Leave network.
Deleting a Network
If you wish to leave a network that you created the situation is significantly different. In this case, you are not leaving a network, but deleting it. Be careful with this option, as it will completely sever all connections between other members of that network and the action is irreversible.
It is done by right clicking on your network and selecting Delete network. Once you confirm the action, the network will disappear from your client and that of every other network peer.
