Hamachi

[Mikealongo]

Hi, I write because recently I started to use Hamachi to play some games with friends and I want to know if there is any kind of risk or if they can access my computer somehow
Sorry my bad English , but not my mother tongue.

Well Hamachi establishes a LAN network connection over the internet. This means if you have unsecured shared folders, they COULD access those.

You're better off using Evolve, it's not as restricted as Hamachi and makes gaming with your friends easier.

I've never had trouble with Hamachi, it keeps it simple enough. Just join a network and use the IP adress listed, done. No extra guff

You can also use Game Ranger to play games with others.  I am not sure of any security risks involved using it.  If anyone cares to chime in and share info. please go ahead.

Hamachi is a terrible program with security issues. I always recommend against it

It was easy enough for me to play with my friends by using hamachi but im worried about the risks, i dont want that they can get my paswords or private files or something like that

I've been using Hamachi for years and as of yet I've had no security issues. However I don't allow people I don't know onto the Network just to be safe. All they could possibly access is your unprotected shared documents, but nothing gets stored in them automatically so you should be safe.
