Quickly and easily provision virtual network client software to new computers without having to go onsite. Manage and restore virtual networks for end-users with the click of a mouse, from anywhere via the web. But as you say, it's one more potentially unnecessary thing to have to worry about.Create and manage virtual networks on-demand as you need them.
So as a VPN for Radmin use then TeamViewer VPN (also free for non-commercial) has the edge for me, but that's only because of my naff connection.īut as a product hamachi wins easily from what I've seen, and for most people I'm sure it's just fine for Radmin use. I tried doing this and although I think performance was improved, it still wasn't enough to allow hamachi to maintain the connection. One neat feature of hamachi relating to earlier posts on this thread is that you can turn off encryption on a per VLAN basis. So I'm definitely going to hang on to it just for the VPN. You can set up your own multiple VLANs and you have a lot of control over access, network groups and configuration. Radmin aside I actually really like hamachi as a product. However at least TeamViewer VPN worked after a fashion - hamachi continually drops the connection. Considering I've effectively only got half of that because both of the hamachi test machines are this side of the router it's hardly surprising.
However hamachi performs very poorly over my (admittedly very naff 0.5 Mb) broadband connection.
#Radmin vpn vs hamachi license
It's to an earlier one which I think was on a different license - so I'm not sure if the "old" link is deliberate. The link from the pinned post on the Troubleshooting forum isn't to the latest version. The current licensing is free for non-commercial use. But at least if you go down the hamachi route then as the support person there is only one set of instructions to work with. Is it any easier than setting up a port forward? No, not for me, but then I know what I'm doing with my router. I installed it on a second machine and it went on fine.Ĭonfiguration is fairly straightforward. But I haven't heard any horror stories about it on here so I do think it was just a glitch at this end.
#Radmin vpn vs hamachi install
The install hung and I had to manually uninstall the network driver and hack out the registry entries before it would let me reinstall. I had a bit of a mare installing it but I think that was a problem at my end. Maybe long-term.Īnyone out there have experience using Hamachi for this reason? Has it hurt performance? Any of the Radmin support people care to chime in? Some time I perhaps I'll be able to test this, but I still don't like the idea of having to give the naive user one more thing to worry about or log in to, nor do I want to have an ongoing live connection between the two machines (client and server) in question.īut I'm still open to the possibility that this is the best approach, at least for the short- to medium-term. If one deactivates Radmin encryption, and assuming one ends up with a direct peer-to-peer connection (i.e., not through the Hamachi servers except to establish the initial link, but expressly not for ongoing traffic), the performance may be very similar. This is done by piggybacking on allowed traffic to establish a connection that the router/firewall has no problem with, and then use it for Radmin (or Skype, or Google Talk, or whatever). I think basically all we need is a way to dynamically poke a hole in the firewall, as needed, and despite dynamic changes in IP address and router config.
