About LogMeIn Hamachi

Hamachi creates virtual private networks on demand, so computers in different places can talk to each other as if they were on the same local network. It suits distributed teams, mobile workers and friends who want to play LAN games over the internet.

Networks are managed from a web console, which can also deploy the client to new computers remotely. It supports mesh, hub-and-spoke and gateway networks, and paid subscriptions add unattended access. Clients are available for Windows, Linux and Mac.

Strengths

  • Quick setup of LAN-like networks without router changes
  • Web-based network management and remote client deployment
  • Mesh, hub-and-spoke and gateway network types

Limitations

  • Proprietary and depends on LogMeIn's hosted service
  • Key features require a paid subscription
