Pros Hamachi creates the possibility to play games online with friends, that do not have specialized way of playing them - I personally used it for games such as Heroes of Might and Magic 4 or Stronghold Crusader. Cons One of the things that sometimes bugged me is that there is a color indication of whether someone is available. Oftentimes I could not connect to someone through Hamachi and there was no useful information why that happens, or how to fix the issue.

Hamachi delivered exactly what I needed: a way to relive those old-school multiplayer sessions without the hassle. Sure, some of those games tested my friendships more than my skills (and I’d still say it was worth it), but Hamachi? It held up its end. I’d happily rage-quit with friends again Pros \- Perfect for playing old video game classics that support LAN multiplayer. - Setting it up is easy. - Free version. Cons \- The game doesn't support LAN multiplayer. - If a game supports direct IP connections, Hamachi feels unnecessary you can use simple VPN for that. - Occasional connection issues with certain firewalls (I'm looking at you Windows Firewall).

Pros A game changer for local networks, collaboration, gaming, and much more! I also love the network type selection for Mesh, gateway, and so on. Cons It is not really easy to setup and configure and it can be intimidating at first glance compared to other similar services Review Source DD Danya D.

Connections are generally stable and secure Pros Allows for you home PC to be converted into a VPN server. Allows 1-5 computers free A safe connection between computers Auto connection on startup of PC Cons Is not a typical classic VPN New users may find it complex Review Source VJ VAKHTANG J. support Accounting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "about Hamachi" June 25, 2024 4.0 At first I needed it for a small network, for which it was the most suitable product. Then the number of users started to increase, after which we switched to the paid version. If you have a stable internet connection, Hamachi will not be a problem for you Pros If you have less user then 5, you can use it free. Cons Tne Connection problems time by time, which needs restart Alternatives considered [KerioControl](https://www.capterra.com/p/32378/KerioControl/) Reason for choosing Hamachi first of all it was free and easy to use.

Advisor Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Tunelización de red simple y eficiente: mi opinión sobre Hamachi" February 20, 2023 3.0 Pros Hamachi es un software de red privada virtual (VPN) que permite conectar de forma segura diferentes dispositivos en una red, a través de Internet. Una de las ventajas de Hamachi es su facilidad de uso, ya que su configuración es muy sencilla y permite crear redes VPN de forma rápida y sin necesidad de contar con conocimientos avanzados en redes. Lo usamos en casa para algunos proyectos que funcionan en Windows y no necesitamos complejas configuraciones.Otra de las bondades de Hamachi es su compatibilidad con diferentes plataformas, lo que hace que pueda ser utilizado en una amplia variedad de sistemas operativos. Además, cuenta con una versión gratuita que permite conectar hasta 5 dispositivos, lo que la hace una opción atractiva para usuarios particulares. Cons Hamachi no es una solución ideal para empresas o usuarios que necesiten conectar una gran cantidad de dispositivos. En estos casos, es recomendable buscar soluciones más robustas que ofrezcan un mayor rendimiento y una mayor cantidad de funcionalidades, mayor seguridad y disponer de un centro de control mas robusto. Los problemas de seguridad que han tenído, han disuadido algunos clientes de adquirir alguna licencia. Review Source FOG Franklyn Omniel G.

Pros It's easy to download, create a local network and connect to another network. Cons If you have some vpn installed, it stops working in part, there is no connectivity between the computers since they cannot ping each other. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Responsable S.A.T.
