Comodo 3.0 and Hamachi

Help for v3
#1

There are a number of threads on how to setup Hamachi for v2.4 of Comodo, but all the 3.0 threads here appear to be dead ends. Does anyone know if you have to add rules to allow Hamachi clients to browse your files? Hamachi works fine with CFP disabled

#2

maybe we should build a similar product that works with cpf for you guys? :slight_smile:

Haha, well I would give up Hamachi before I gave up CPF :slight_smile: It is probably something simple I am missing, but setting up rules (and making sure I don’t create unnecessary rules) has changed since the v2.4 guides

#4

I use both CFP 3 and Hamachi successfully.

Here is my setup for Hamachi:
a) Create a network zone for Hamachi addresses (those in 5.x.x.x range). Or, if you know exactly which Hamachi IP addresses you’ll use, include just those in the network zone, for added security.
b) Go to Stealth Ports Wizard. Choose ‘Define a new trusted network’. Select the Hamachi network zone you created above. This will create 2 new Global firewall rules.
c) Make Hamachi.exe a Trusted Application in Network Security Policy.

what do you like about Hamachi?

thanks

Mr Brian: Thanks, that is just what I needed and Hamachi is working fine now though CPF v3

Melih: Well I just started experimenting with it yesterday, basically it is a dead-simple way to setting up a VPN. I’m testing it on a small business network for people to be able to access some files on the company LAN from home. Also trying to use it to share a local database to users at home, without going dedicated server hardware/software route, as it is a very small company.

Also I think it is widely used for playing older games (like Starcraft and things) over the internet. Those games were programmed for internet play support, but all the players connecting to a Hamachi network tricks the old games into thinking they are on a LAN.

You’re welcome :).

Well, as fxer said, it is a really easy way to configure a VPN, it is supposed to be secure, it allows to play games as in a LAN, also allows to use remote adminitration tool, or to share folders (but it allows to disable “windows insecure services” like shared folders). It’s free version allows up to 16 members in the virtual LAN… and that is more than enough for me…, and usually, it is fast (once the tunnel connection is established, it is a p2p connection, so there is not a server in the middle, slowing things down).

But if I can become even more “comodized”, I wouldn’t complain (R)

Interesting…

what are the other limitations of the free one?
Also how much do they charge after that 16?
thanks

The above link compares the free version to the premium version.

Main advantages are in the qty. of etworks a user can create and the qty. of PCs that can connect to those networks. Free version networks can’t be locked and free networks can’t ban certan connections. Also, if a relay is required, free version goes through slow relay servers.

Cheers,

I find LogMeIn quite good…

if Comodo was to built a product that does similar things to Hamachi what are the features you would love to see most that you don’t get from Hamachi?

thanks

I myself would like an app for easy file exchange. The partners (all across the internet) launch the app, they form a group where you need a password to get into that group. Once they are together they can securely exchange files without the need of setting up an FTP server. A chatbox where they could talk while copying files would also be nice. It should be quick and easy that you can just get e.g. some photos and then end the connection.

What is very good for private use is TeamViewer.TeamViewer – The Remote Connectivity Software
Its main point is remote access but you can exchange files also.

I’ve been extremely happy with Hamachi, but what would be even better would be easier setup of bridged routing, more connection options like disconnect client after X hours, require password to rejoin the network, and better support of Linux and Mac OS X. The lack of relay support in Hamachi for Linux and OS X, not to mention several other limitations almost have me thinking about using OpenVPN instead.
