Replacement to Logmein's Hamachi?

VPN
1

I have a unique use case (well, probably not that unique), where i have multiple machines located on different networks that i occasionally need access to, even when i travel. This is where Hamachi has come in handy as it allows me to create a virtual network that then allows me to either map a drive or RDP to other machines within that network.

​

But now that im starting to setup my own lab, im wondering if it’s possible to host my own service that does the same as Hamachi and allows me access to any of my machines anywhere in the world…does anyone know of this or have any seed search terms i can use to start my research?

Hamachi is basically a VPN tunnel. You can setup OpenVPN to achieve the same. Just configure all of your machines to connect to an OpenVPN server. You can then access the individual machines with their OpenVPN client IP addresses just like you would with Hamachi.

ZeroTier is a drop-in replacement for Hamachi

I’ve never used it myself. But, everything I read suggests that ZeroTier is an open source equivalent of Hamachi.

Ohh thanks for opening my eyes to ZeroTier! If this can in fact replace Hamachi for free, without me having to run something myself, that’s even better!
