Hamachi
July 20, 2006 in 5 out of 5 stars, A piece of software, TechnologyHamachi: It's a zero-configuration virtual private networking (VPN) application. It essentially gives you a LAN over the Internet. (Warning: This is a more technical one, but for you entrepreneurs with remote associates this is solid gold). Applied Networking Inc. Hamachi is to VPN what Skype is to VOIP. It's a simple, clean, VPN application, that just works. Astounding really especially when you compare it to the horrible commercial VPN alternatives out there. Solid support for Windows, passable versions for Linux and Mac (OS X). Best of all - Hamachi is free. In the vast majority of cases this does indeed work (worked perfectly for me) but the support forums do have some pleas for help. With 3,000,000 users though - that's to be expected. (Incidentally, the support forums really do appear to be helpful.) Mac version doesn't have a GUI (yet). Astoundingly Free Reviewed by Carson McComasWhat is it?

I'm also a huge fan of hamachi. Interesting news: they just got bought by Logmein, a company I'm also a gigantic proponent of
