[AccessD] Himachi

John,
I have played with Himachi yesterday and it works perfect also behind
routers and firewalls. Since I still use Windows 2000 without the remote
desktop feature of XP I use UltraVNC for remote support. Works great as
well. UltraVnc (http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net/) is also free and works
faster and more reliable than anything else I used before.
Himachi is supposed to solve the security problem when using the internet as
your network connection. I listened to Steve Gibsons Episode18 mp3-track on
Himachi. He states that it is absolutely secure. I still have an uncertain
feeling about what I should think about it since I'm not that knowledgeable
about the whole subject. Doesn't have the server moderating the connection
have to store the password I assign and couldn't that bee misused?

Helmut

Betreff: [AccessD] Himachi


If I can get this thing working I have several immediate applications for
it.  I have two different client companies that need a network between
dispersed locations, specifically so that they can do backups to remote
locations.  I am about to write a piece of code that organizes emails from
contractors into folders. It will strip off attached documents which are
equipment documentation, store them in an external hard disk (usb) and if I
can get this private network working, it will then also write to an
identical external hard disk at my client's home office so that all
documents are immediately backed up in two different physical locations.  If
the client picks up his email at home and runs the program, it will save the
documents to the home office drive, and then also to the drive in his
office.

I have been looking for a way to do this kind of thing that doesn't require
a Notwork guy to maintain the thing.  For it to work, my client has to be
able to set it up on the two machines.  An additional benefit is that I may
be able to set up remote desktop over this virtual network so that I can
support him.  This Hamachi might be just the ticket.

There's a good discussion of hamachi at http://www.grc.com/securitynow.htm,
where they are also discussing other ways to do the same thing.
