Configuring
the Hamachi VPN for the Remote
The purpose of using the
Hamachi software is to provide a tunnel through the security hurdles of the
Internet, to allow easy configuration and operation of the Internet Remoting
Toolkit. The Hamachi VPN
solves several issues for the
remote:
1. It provides a fixed IR/URL for the Host node,
independent of the Internet connection, ie.g. fixed IP or more likely dynamic
IP. Thus it makes the remote host easy to find
2. It provides a secure logon to the host
3. It simplifies the setup process in not requiring the users to setup
port forwarding through the host side router
4. It eliminates the need for client – side router
port forwarding to support IP-Sound operations. The latter is significant, since in many situations you may
be accessing the Internet from a place where you CANNOT do port forwarding,
e.g. a friendÕs house, Starbucks,
etc..
Hamachi operates by first creating Hamachi nodes in each
computer that are to be connected.
These nodes are each assigned a unique Hamachi IP address to provide a
unique identification for the node.
Then a ÒHamachiÕ Network is
created with a name and password and the Hamachi nodes created within each
computer are attached to the Network, and thus are connected to each other
similar to being on a Local Area Network.
Thus the client and host computer have a Hamachi IP and these IPs are ÒJoinedÓ
into a virtual network. Then the client can access the host simply by using the
Hamachi IP address of the Host computer.
This works no matter where the client is located
The Hamachi software can be
downloaded from www.hamachi.cc
An example of the Hamachi
download and setup is presented below

8. After creating nodes on the client and host, create
the network |

9. Join the network on both the Host and Client
nodes |
10. Your finished |

Example here is my client
node (5.135.100.227) . The one on the left is without any connection to a
network. The fiths side shows what happens after the connection to w*net. Note that is attached to the w*net network. Two other nodes
are also attached: the HOST @
5.118.98.172 and another client (TIGGER) at 5.118.98.46. Thus to connect I set up my
clients to connect to the IP 5.118.98.172 and everything including the
IP-Sound audio works fine without worrying about any router configurations |
