Finally, a VPN That Just Works

LogMeIn Hamachi is a hosted VPN service that securely connects devices and networks, extending LAN-like network connectivity to mobile users, distributed teams and business applications. You can easily create secure virtual networks on demand, across public and private networks. Hamachi is managed and maintained from anywhere via the web, securely.

Features:

Network Limits:
· Network Capacity: Create or join up to 256 Hamachi networks.
· User Capacity: Each Hamachi network can have up to 50 concurrent users.

Chat:
· Peer to Peer Chat: Exchange chat messages with both on and off-line Hamachi peers.
· Group Chat: Chat with all online network members at once in a single chat window.

Network Protection:
· Password Protection: Require anyone attempting to join your network to present a valid network password.
· Network Lock: Lock your Hamachi networks to prevent any new members from joining. This preserves all other access control settings.
· Membership Approval: Prevent new members from having full access to your network until manually approved by you or an administrator.

Network Administration:
· Member Eviction: Evict an existing member from your Hamachi network. This revokes their membership, but does not prevent them from re-joining the network.
· Member Ban: Create a list of Hamachi clients (Hamachi IP addresses) that cannot join your networks under any condition.
· Create Administrators: Assign one or more network members to be network administrators, and designate their specific capabilities.
· Network Messages: Set a welcome or announcement messages for each network you own.

Extended Connectivity:
· Low-Bandwidth Relays: Use relays to connect Hamachi clients that cannot, for any reason, establish a direct communication channel. We believe the chances of requiring a relay when using Hamachi is about 5%.

Advanced Features:
· Routed tunneling: In addition to handling traffic between Hamachi clients, Hamachi can be set up to allow remote access to LAN computers that do not or cannot run the Hamachi client.
· Built-in Web Proxy: Peers in your Hamachi networks may configure their Web browsers to access the Internet via your computer and therefore protect their Web traffic. This feature is typically used for securing Web surfing from untrusted locations including cybercafes, coffee houses, hotels, etc.
· Run as a Windows System Service: Run the Hamachi client as a system service. This is typically needed when running Hamachi on servers or in setups involving Windows domain authentication.
