| Hamachi is easy to use application that allows users to create and manage virtual private networks. For example, if your home computer is connected to the Internet through a router or connection sharing, you generally can not access it, say, from your office. By installing Hamachi on both computers and clicking a couple of buttons you can connect instantly and securely. Now you can browse file shares, run remote desktop or even host a multiplayer game on one computer and join another. Just like when they were involved in a physical wire. Hamachi is a networking technology that allows two computers to the internet at all to talk to each other directly, regardless of the presence of firewalls or translation devices on the line to solve. Most interestingly, Hamachi enables peer-to-peer communications between two computers residing behind two different connection sharing devices. In geek language - which allows for bidirectional NAT traversal. Peer to Peer connectivity possible with the help of Hamachi servers to mediate the establishment of the initial contact with their peers. When peers connect the traffic starts to flow directly between them. This not only ensures that data flows can be the best route, but also minimizes latency (ping), and increases the data transfer rate. Hamachi is secure. All Hamachi communications are encrypted and authenticated using industry-standard algorithms and protocols. Nobody can see what two Hamachi peers are talking about. But what is more important - Hamachi security architecture is completely open meaning that its detailed description is available for consultation to all interested parties. |
