[dba-Tech] LogMeIn is no more

Hi Mark

You missed the zero cost. However, if you have to remote access 30+ machines, I don't think any free tool will fit and then Hamachi seems fine.

Hello All,

I use Hamachi since Mr Colby introduced us to it in 2007.  For me it works great.  I have about 5 hamachi networks and I pay about $30 per year per network.  Once I set up Hamachi for a client, I can access up to 30 of their machines on that same hamachi network.

I never did use LogMeIn, if I needed rdp access to a machine, I installed Hamachi on it and then did a regular rdp.

My question to the group is am I missing something?

Given that I already am familiar with Hamachi and it is not difficult to install, is there a reason to use LetMeIn (free or not).

Gustav, thank you for the link, I had a look at it but am still wondering if I am missing something that makes my hamachi solution cumbersome?

Happy St Patrick's day to all.

thanks

Mark
