No not really...Your address that you are using for your principal connect may be protected but Himachi but it is not like a full VPN connection which protects all ports in and out.

If I come in through a Hamachi VPN then I do not directly expose the port to the outside world correct? IOW the hacker would need to belong to my VPN network in order to directly get to the open port? -- John W.
