hamachi

I enjoy listening to tech podcasts while I am cutting the grass or riding the bike. Many times, these podcast are a little over my head, but there are valuable tools and suggestions that I get from them. One podcast that I really enjoy is called Security Now by Steve Gibson. It is very technical, but informative. Several months ago, he covered this software called Hamachi. It is a free VPN tool that allows you connect to any computer from any computer. If you think something like this would help you in ministry, I would suggest listening to the podcast and then giving it a shot.

I love it. It allows me to retrieve files from anywhere. I can remote in to my work desktop from anywhere or even slide files between PCs from anywhere. It also provides a secure way to browse the Internet from hotspots. Without getting too techical, here is the link to the podcast and a description from the Hamachi site.

Hope it helps

"Hamachi" Rocks!

This week Leo and I discuss and describe the brand new, ready to emerge from a its long development beta phase, ultra-secure, lightweight, high-performance, highly-polished, multi-platform, peer-to-peer and FREE! personal virtual private networking system known as "Hamachi". After two solid weeks of testing and intense dialog with Hamachi's lead developer and designer, I have fully vetted the system's security architecture and have it running on many of my systems. While I am travelling to Toronto this week, Hamachi is keeping my roaming laptop securely and directly connected to all of my machines back home. Don't miss this one!
