I do not believe that is entirely true. I've seen it has some sort of automatic routing thing where it can tell if traffic can directly communicate with each other ( even inside a lan ) and that nothings obstructing it like a firewall, and if it detects this, it can make the route go directly without routing through their servers ( it becomes obvious when you see speeds and ping times much closer than you'd expect for somewhere on the other side of the world ) Though, this "hamachi have servers people route through" is definitely a thing, but I think thats more out of convenience than of some evil plan. Its often very hard to get inbound connections on home PC's, and theres' a lot of crap you have to make the firewall do to make inbound connections work. Its easier to just have some server ( Hamachi ) which the clients do outbound connections to and the hamachi server makes them communicate. -- Kent perl -e "print substr( \"edrgmaM SPA NOcomil.ic\\@tfrken\", \$_ * 3, 3 ) for ( 9,8,0,7,1,6,5,4,3,2 );" http://kent-fredric.fox.geek.nz _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
