Me and my friend were looking for a way to play a few games multiplayer without having to play online through the servers.

We realized not all games have direct connect

Jon searched and came up with a program I've NEVER seen or heard of before:

http://hamachi.cc/

whats this?

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) program thats not only secure but also extrmely user friendly without any need for configuration?

I thoght it was too good to be true!

SO I started it up and in order for me to connect to his netowkr I just had to do 2 things he said. At this point I said "AH HA! I knew there was a catch"

That is untill it came up with the Name/Password screen.

Yes, connecting to your friends VPN is as easy as AIM

And does it work well?

is this a hoax?

We test it on a Call of Duty 2 LAN game.

I hosted and we were playing with him at 98 ping.

Now you may go "wtf thats pretty high"

considering Im hosting from Seattle and he lives in Lansing, Michigan....no thats not high poing at all.

I guess it's a pretty popular program that just no one talks about, so I wanted to share it with you guys if you havn't heard of it before.

Adios!
