Hamachi virtual private network (VPN) that was first created by Alex Pankratov in 2004. Later, the development of the software was handed to LogMeIn, Inc. Hamachi allows users to extend LAN-like networks, which makes it very suitable for teams, mobile workers, and gaming.

What are the key features of Hamachi?

Encryption: Undoubtedly the most important one should know about a VPN is the type of encryption that is used. Hamachi uses an AES 256-bit encryption, over public and private networks. This is the safest encryption to this day and it's being used by most VPN services.
Manage Networks: Hamachi allows users to manage virtual networks for end-users. This is very simple to do, as it only requires a few clicks, and it's possible from anywhere through the Web.
Hub-and-spoke Virtual Networking: In addition to the above, Hamachi offers you the possibility to grant remote users access to given computers on your network and access to your private network/LAN from a centralized LogMeIn Hamachi gateway. Once again, this is possible from every location and you don't need to modify firewalls or routers.
Centralized Access Controls: Another good thing about Hamachi is that it allows you to control network access and usage. This includes password management and network authentication, among others.
Support: Finally, another good point for Hamachi is that the website offers a free support on getting started with LogMeIn Hamachi. In 25 pages, it guides users through the whole process.
