LAN over the Internet.

Schalldampfer · May 20, 2006

From hamachi.cc, you can download a program that lets you form a LAN over the Internet. I have yet to try it and was wondering if anyone already has.

i've tried it. it works ok but if you're looking to play LAN games, then its a little more complicated. it'll work, but there's more steps than just starting the game and playing.

Is it a safe and reliable program, though?

never used it, but have read on these forums people raving about it, so i guess its ok. just a quick look at the front page and it seems nifty. if its really like zero config VPN id say its "secure". as secure as a wired lan?, no, but enough im sure.

I've used it with up to 8 people. Getting it configured can be a pain, and it doesnt always load properly, but when it all works, its a neat little program.

I run it on a couple linux boxes - easy easy easy to set up and run, even on linux

Glad to hear all that. I guess I'll give it a whirl, then.
