Hamachi

drbacchoi · 04-11-2009, 11:35 AM

Hi to all. I am not sure if you are familiar with the program LogMeIn Hamachi, but there are a few things I need to know about it and unfortunately I'm unable to find out for myself.

I haven't used the networking software as yet due to difficulties that I don't think I need to explain but can you answer the following:

1. I would guess that the home pc must be on to use the software but does the user have to be logged on to be able to share files across this VPN?

2. In terms of gaming, are you able to play LAN games across this VPN?

3. Can I run a program (e.g. world fo warcraft ) across this VPN?

Thanks for all the help and I will continue to post. You all are doing a great job with this website and if I had a credit card I would surely donate.

Wating for your reply.

1) You can set up Hamachi to run as a system service so that it will automatically run without having to have a user log in. Take a look at this FAQ guide on the Hamachi forums for instructions.

2) Absolutely. As long as all the required players are a part of your Hamachi network/group and are online on Hamachi, then you can run LAN multiplayer for your games without additional configuration.

3) The VPN connection does not replace your standard Internet connection. It, in a sense, compliments it. 99% of your programs should not have any issues if they are trying to use the Internet.

If you have more questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
