This driver, called a TUN/TAP driver, is assigned a special IP address from the Hamachi network in the 5.x.x.x range. It creates an entirely separate network connection on your computer by creating a virtual network adapter through a special driver. Technology Explanationīefore I get into the account types, I think it’s important to explain a little better how Hamachi2 works. LogMeIn has added to Hamachi’s original framework with additional connectivity modes that I’ll explore in a bit. If Hamachi2 can establish this connection, traffic will use the peer-to-peer network instead of relaying through LogMeIn’s servers. Once connection is established, Hamachi2 will try to start up a VPN directly between peers running its client. The design is simple: initial connectivity happens via a central server. Hamachi2 thankfully hasn’t strayed too far from its roots. The evolution into a SMB product began with the purchase by LogMeIn. The service was originally created to help PC gamers play LAN games over the Internet. SmallNetBuilder took at look at the pre-LogMeIn Hamachi a few years back, when setup was considerably more involved.
I’ll be taking a look at one of the original hosted VPN services, LogMeIn Hamachi2.Īctually, the "Hamachi" part of LogMeIn Hamachi2 is the "oldie", which was around when "cloud" still meant those fluffy things in the sky.
Or if you want encryption all the way to your notebook or mobile device, the installation and configuration of a VPN client.īut, like many other applications, VPNs can now be purchased as a cloud service. Setting up secure VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) usually involves purchasing special routers that secure in and outbound traffic for your LAN.
