Hamachi for minecraft??

[mr moose]

My son is a mad minecraft player and has multiple mod packs and add-ons installed for it.  He also plays halflife 2 and wants me to get him gary's mod.

 

Now the problem I have is that I do not want to put my credit card details into the steam account on his computer to purchase games while all this other minecraft stuff that I don't understand is on there.  The one that concerns me the most is Hamachi, it seems to have created it's own network connection. Is this program secure and/or safe or should I uninstall it before I update the steam account? Am I being paranoid?

 

Any information on this is greatly appreciated.

Hamachi is secure to an extent, it's ok to have it one there. Minecraft and his mods have nothing to do with steam.

Uh hamachi im not a big fan of , if i were you i would buy him a 10$/month sub to a minecraft server host , many good host out there.If you use paypal with your credit card and want to check out though steam it will ALWAYS ask you for your paypal password so he cannot buy games freely, but i always do recommend checking your credit card atleast weekly and make sure he isnt "steeling"

My friend uses it when we play minecraft on his server. It's a workaround if you cannot get access to your router's settings to fiddle with portforwarding and stuff. It should be fine.

Hamachi also has nothing do to with steam.

It is secure but what you could do is get him a 10$ steam card

Hamachi has nothing to do with steam, also. to stop card payments, try getting the Steam cards 

 

 

Minecraft and it's mods also have nothing to do with steam

Thanks guys, I knew it had nothing todo with steam, but I didn't know if it was a security risk or not. I thought it might have been a hacked up or poorly coded minecraft mod that could be compromised with malware.

 

Steam card is a great Idea, can they be bodged if he screws up at the check out?

 

P.S I am not worried about him stealing or anything like that, he is Autistic and follows the rules to the letter. <Literally to the letter B)

Steam wallet cards are pretty much gift codes, you redeem the code in steam, and you've got that set amount. You can purchase a game for that price or lower and the cash will stay associated with the steam account the code was redeemed on. 

 

It's pretty handy if you're trading in console games :D

Thanks guys, been a great help.

you can make a purchase and not save the details of the card on steam.

that's what I do, it forces me to enter my data and card info everytime I buy a game through steam.
