hamachi - rocks ? :/

Hi,

i have searched arround for some experiences with hamchi or some analysis
about the security and privacy aspects while using this tool/service...

but i have not found any analysis of the privacy drawbacks, wich mabye exist (or not)?

I my tests, the service obviously rocks for lan gaming over the inet, with a zero
configuration vpn...

But there is kind of bad feeling feeling while using closed software, which:
-- installs a network adapter to windows (driver, admin access to my system)
-- ENCRYPT ALL his traffic and used SERVER CONNECTS for his nat traversal!
-- free but closed software for a rocking service :/

I'am grateful for all comments, links or analysis of this facts....

greetings
Mr. Kartoffel

nothing to say?, no experience arround hamachi?

 

sorry, never heard of it

 

Surely you either trust the software/authors, and use/enjoy it for your own benefit, or you go down the paranoid/safest route and find another more-complicated solution?

I'm sure that for gaming it's an excellent choice, as it is for other small-scale or non business-critical applications. I've tried it out a few times and it seemed to work fine straight away, which is really what it's all about.

Give it a whirl and see how it performs.

 

It's a very nice application that can be used to share files, chat and use it access to a remote computer with security, for example...

I'm waiting for the final...

 

yes, thats right...it is an easy way to get a VPN and even newbie save...
