Hamachi
Website hamachi.cc
eady to emerge from a its long development beta phase, ultra-secure, lightweight, high-performance, highly-polished, multi-platform, peer-to-peer and FREE! personal virtual private networking system known as "Hamachi". After two solid weeks of testing and intense dialog with Hamachi's lead developer and designer, I have fully vetted the system's security architecture and have it running on many of my systems. While I am travelling to Toronto this week, Hamachi is keeping my roaming laptop securely and directly connected to all of my machines back home. Don't miss this one!

Honestly, what's the point in using Hamachi for netgames? All it does is make your games inaccessible to everyone not using the program. And forwarding ports on your router isn't difficult to do.
 
I really don't see what's so secure about Hamachi. I hear that people have been hacked on Hamachi before.
 
What's so insecure about playing a game with a couple open ports? Not EVERYBODY is out to get you.

You can mark the port as Stealth and still host a game with out a hacker knowing.

Well, yeah. And in fact, if you�re running a system that is not stealthing you, every port will at least say either it�s open or it�s closed. So in order to be completely off the �Net in appearance, you really do need the technology which is going to stealth you. And as a matter of fact, I�ve seen dialogues where hackers know that ident is often not stealthed. So they�re specifically trying to open an ident connection because, unless it�s adaptively stealthed, as all the latest firmware and personal firewalls are generally now able to do, it will look like it�s closed, and they�ll know you�re still there..

Stealth is better then open.
 
I think Hamachi basically recognizes people on the internet as people that are on your LAN. :X
