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.

Technology
Hamachi is a zero-configuration virtual private networking application with an open security architecture and NAT-to-NAT traversal capabilities.

Hamachi is the first application to mix seemingly unrelated networking technologies in one powerful package to deliver an unprecedented level of peer-to-peer connectivity. More ...

Security

Hamachi is secure. All Hamachi communications are encrypted and authenticated with industry-standard algorithms and protocols. Nobody will be able to see what two Hamachi peers are talking about. Not even us.

However what is equally important - Hamachi security architecture is completely open meaning that its detailed description is available for the review to anyone interested. More ...

Ease of Use
A special effort went into designing and polishing Hamachi user interface. The result is sleek, simple and intuitive, while still very much functional. Everything you need, nothing you don't.

Hamachi software contains no spyware, bannerware or any other -ware unrelated to its purpose. And it never will.

Its like VPN but then without hassle. all you need is to get your friends in the same 'network'(which you can create yourself(msgplus network anyone?) and password protect if needed ) you can browse them, they can set up lan servers and play lan games though the internet. Just remember to set your windows share to low or off cause its also possible(like in a real network) to explore ones shared folders

i'm behind a router and it works without having to change any setting so try it.. it onws (playing unreal tournament 2004 on 'lan')

EDIT: Network: msgplus
pass: test

this program looks pretty good, but i need to find someone to test it with.

me? network: msgplus pass:test

Isn't a LAN over the internet defeating the object of it completely... If it is over the internet, then surely, it's not really that local? Local as in the same building... Local Area Network...

Shouldn't this be Wanning over the Internet?

Since your doing it over a Wide Area Network?

technically you are right, that type of connection would be a WAN (wide area network) but it uses the principles of a lan connection i am guessing.
edit: patches wins

ok.. its live VPN... but you can play lan games like they are on your LAN
