Create VPNs Instantaneously with LogMeIn Hamachi

Hamachi is a networking product developed by LogMeIn. This application is available on the official website and its non-commercial version is licensed free.

As soon as an administrator turns on Hamachi application after the installation the software requests a unique public dynamic IP address from LogMeIn server. Once the IP address is assigned to the application administrators can then create and specify a unique name and password to the Virtual Private Network which they can distribute to the clients. Also computers on which Hamachi is installed can also be connected to any Virtual Private Network infrastructure which is created using the application at the other end.
