IP addressing, technical information please....How does this program connect peers? I have used Hamachi and it is very easy. The only part I do not really like is that you need to connect to thier servers to get connected to your peers. Your terminology states that one user becomes the 'server' so to speak, and that other peers connect to that 'servers' vpn. That is simplified, but you get the picuture. In hamachi, once you create a network, anyone with permission can join, regardless of whether you are on or not. So how does this compare in that respect?
Also, what can you give me about the ip addresses? Hamachi assigns an ip internal to them I think. Often in XP you can see the vNic become enabled and see a connectivity issue that gives a 'partial connectvity' icon in the tray. I have found that by writing to the registry in the corresponding reg key the ip hamachi assigns you (which seems permanent), you effectively create a static ip for the vNic which solves the 'partial connectivity' issue.
What are the ip addresses that could be used? Why? Do they change?
I have made rules for my firewall with hamachi, so that I can still have a firewall up and also use hamachi. I don't want to just blanket allow it. Do you have any information as to what ports and remote addresses will be expected?
In short, I am always looking at new tools, and have tried yours on vmWare. But I am wondering more about the technical addressing side. My friends and I use hamachi to play games mostly. LAN style. Especially games that have coop in them or might not be great or have any online portions with the same effect. I have found that hamachi is not so great for use as file sharing. It has upload issues, perhaps due to settings in the vNic. We use primarly free file storage services for most of that. What can you tell me about those same issues regarding your program?
Many questions.
Thank you.
