LogMeIn Hamachi VPN’s

LogMeIn Hamachi VPN’s 

I finally had a chance to evaluate this software and am very satisfied with it. The only potential risks in using this software are the remote host(s) you connect to - I hightly recommend if you use this software you *trust* the computer you are connecting to.

I tested this software with two Internet Connections - Cable 16Mbit/1.5Mbit and DSL 1.5Mbit/384Kbit and two computers. Both computers were behind a firewall and connected flawlessly to each other. With both computer’s on both Internet’s I was able to broswe each other’s files and transfer files as fast as the Internet connection would allow. At the same time while transfering files through the VPN I noticed legancy - which is normal, considering they share the same virtual connection. Other than that, say for example when I was not transfering any files and there was nothing else going through both Internet’s surprisingly my legancy was near exactly the same as a direct Internet connect (about 30ms-50ms).

In the end, I highly recommend this software for anyone to use in purposes of connecting two or more computers through the Internet. Example: Games, Easy File Transfers, Secure Chatting, etc.
