Hamachi

Are you looking for a software solution that allows you to share files with friends, allow you to easily retrieve files from your computer at home while on trip, or create a network with friends over the internet so you can play network only games.   What you may be interested in is Hamachi.

Hamachi is a hosted VPN service that securely connects computers as if they were on their own LAN connection.  Hamachi allows you to easily create secure virtual networks on demand, across public and private  networks.

Unlike most other VPN clients you do not need to specific hardware, secure communications, flexible networking, web-based management, and FREE for non-commercial use!

Overall I am AMAZED with Hamachi!  It’s on all of my machines now, and I really wouldn’t ever want to be without it again!
