Hamachi’s VPN on the Fly

The Hamachi on-the-fly virtual private network product looks incredibly useful. The company is located in Vancouver, Canada.

They released their 1.0 beta in December. I have tested this software and it seems to be the real thing. The software is easy to configure, but firewalls must be configured correctly to allow a connection. This could be a compellingly-simple solution for small businesses and for linking up families, etc.

What it is
With Hamachi you can organize two or more computers with an Internet connection into their own virtual network for direct secure communication.

Hamachi is fast, secure and simple. It is also free.

What's in it for me
Think - LAN over the Internet.

Think - Zero-configuration VPN.

Think - Secure peer-to-peer.

Access computers remotely. Use Windows File Sharing. Play LAN games. Run private Web or FTP servers. Communicate directly. Stay connected. VNC over the Internet
