LogMeIn Hamachi is a virtual networking service that can be set up in minutes and enables secureremote access to your business network anywhere there is an Internet traditional hardware and software based VPN systems, Hamachi is an on-demand virtualnetworking service that allows you to focus your time and energy on providing the remote connectionsyour users and systems need, and not the technology or infrastructure you are using to support Should Use LogMeIn Hamachi ?

5 Here are a few examples of how you can take advantage of Support: Building a Mobile Office LANMany mobile workers use their laptops in the office while connected to their company's shared resources(file servers, network printers, mail servers, etc.). But if a user moves away from the local network, hewill no longer be able to access these resources. Software that is configured to work inside the officebecomes useless outside the Hamachi , mobile workers become members of a Hamachi network wherein all shared resourcesare also network members. As a result, network configurations can remain unchanged. Hamachi setsup exactly the same networking environment for the mobile user no matter where he : Hub-and-spoke and gateway are the best networking modes for this Support: Setting Up Network Access for Home WorkersHome workers can be more productive when they have secure access to shared IT resources.

6 Usingthe Hamachi client, home workers gain a secure tunnel directly into their company's network. They canwork from home and still access the resources they : Hub-and-spoke and gateway are the best networking modes for this IT: Managing Multiple NetworksA service provider with a number of administrators on his team wants to set up and maintain multipleHamachi networks for multiple customers. He uses LogMeIn Central to create Hamachi networks,deploy Hamachi clients, and apply default and custom settings for each customer. He can also manageother administrators in his organization, generate client activity reports, and manage network to Medium Sized Organizations: Virtual LANO rganizations without a physical LAN can use the mesh network type to set up a virtual corporate 2017 LogMeIn , LogMeIn Hamachi ClientThe term Hamachi client refers to both the Hamachi software itself and any computer or smartphonewith Hamachi client software installed.

7 With proper permission from network owners, Hamachi clientscan become members of any Hamachi 1: The LogMeIn Hamachi client for WindowsFigure 2: The LogMeIn Hamachi client for MacA command-line version of LogMeIn Hamachi is also available for Linux and officially supported on thefollowing distributions: Ubuntu LTS or newer CentOS or newerAbout the Relationship Between the Client and Your LogMeIn AccountThe Hamachi client can only be used with a LogMeIn ID, as an attached member of a LogMeIn Hamachi user Guide6 About the Hamachi Virtual IP AddressEvery Hamachi client has one virtual IPv4 (IP) address in the range and one IPv6 address. Thevirtual IP address is globally unique and is used to access the client from any other Hamachi networkwith at least one common mesh or hub-and-spoke Hamachi Network TypesLogMeIn Hamachi provides three network types for flexibility in meeting diverse use case scenarios:Mesh, Hub-and-Spoke, and Gateway.

8 They differ mainly in network Mesh NetworksIn a mesh network, every member is connected to every other without a physical LAN can use the mesh network type to set up a virtual corporate is also the typical choice for gamers, because network games constantly have to broadcast theircurrent status to all other participants in the 3: Mesh networkNote: Mesh is the only network type that can be created directly from the Hamachi client Hub-and-Spoke NetworksIn a hub-and-spoke network, one or more computers act as hubs, while other clients connect as connect to hubs, but never to each is typically used when a workstation (spoke) needs to connect only to servers (hubs).For example, in a library, the catalog is a hub while workstations accessing the catalog are is ideal if you want strict control over connections between network 4: Hub-and-spoke networkImportant: If you set every member of a hub-and-spoke network to be a hub, you essentially turnthe network into a mesh network.

9 Similarly, if you set only spokes, your members will be unableto make a 2017 LogMeIn , Gateway NetworksUse the gateway network type to provide transparent access to your entire network from a centralizedHamachi gateway. Members of a gateway network, such as mobile workers, will see one computeracting as a gateway towards an entire LAN, thus making all network resources 5: Gateway networkTip: Theoretically, a hub-and-spoke network would also be a good choice for enabling mobileLAN access; however, all shared resources would also need to be running the Hamachi clientand be set up as hubs. This is fine insofar as these shared resources are servers with a Hamachicompatible operating system; however, the gateway network remains the best option sinceHamachi currently cannot be installed on network devices such as printers, routers, access points, : Mac hosts cannot act as gateway gateway network type is a hybrid of the meshed and hub-and-spoke network types.

10 As in a hub-and-spoke network, one computer acts as a hub (the gateway), while members act asspokes There can only be one gateway, which is typically a permanently online server connected to the LAN The number of members is virtually unlimited since even network devices that are not running theHamachi client can be considered members Each member ( Hamachi client) will see the gateway and the other members of the gateway's LAN Hamachi clients will not see each other in a gateway networkRestrictionsFor technical and security reasons there are strict rules for both the gateway and members: The gateway cannot be a member of any other network Members can join more than one gateway network, but can only be online in one network at a members can also be members of multiple non-gateway networks The gateway cannot be a workstation that is the member of a domainRole of the Hamachi Client in a Gateway Network Gateway network members and the gateway device itself must be running the Hamachi client Network devices that are physically connected to the LAN do not need to run the Hamachi client tobe made accessible to gateway network membersAddressingGateway networks integrate smoothly into the LAN in terms of addressing.
