Hamachi is a safe solution to share files over the Internet or control computers by creating a virtual private network.
Hamachi is an application that allows remote computers to create a virtual private network (VPN), as if they were located on the same physical link, in a very simple manner.
With the help of this software the user can share files, control another computer, launch prints, etc over the Internet. In addition, applications running normally for local networks can be used with Hamachi.
Hamachi does not require specialized knowledge to create their own virtual private network and works with an open architecture. It is able to operate through networks using Network Address Translation (NAT), working even with computers behind routers or firewalls.
Communications are secure and encrypted by algorithms and specific protocols, as well as the use of a password.
The software allows to create as many as desired private network, each protected by a password .
* Changed how Hamachi operates when it is running as a system
service. Starting with this version Hamachi's window is now
displayed in a separate process, which communicates with
Hamachi service behind the scenes.
This change resolves all issues with accessing Hamachi GUI
from Remote Desktop as well as other 'non-console' Terminal
Services sessions. See this thread for the description of
an original problem -

Hamachi now also includes an access control mechanism, which
can be used to restrict GUI access to specific Windows accounts.
See Preferences/System/Manage Service for details -

Lastly, reverting Hamachi back to running as an application
now automatically restarts it after the service is shutdown
and unregistered.
* Modified tunneling engine to use TTL of 128 for bulk VPN traffic.
* Modified built-in proxy to accept larger URLs.
* Modified the appearance of Premium indicator in Hamachi window.
It has been moved from the bottom of the window (the 'swoosh'
thingy) to the window caption (the 'star' icon).
