How to play through Hamachi with friends?

Many people like to play computer toys. The worlds created by developers fascinate millions of people around the world and carry a lot of people of all ages into the depth of virtual reality. Mankind is gradually completely immersed in online, and one day there will come a time when everyone will play - from kindergartners to pensioners. Why all this speech? How does this relate to the question "How to play through Hamachi?"

About games

The created applications and toys are inherently monotonous and have a similarly general interface. This is done by the developers so that the player who came to their new project could immediately immerse themselves in the gameplay, not accustomed to new nuances and management. Currently, you can distinguish between three types of games:

1. Licensed, bought formally for money. They have the ability to connect and create online games sessions on official servers.
2. Licensed games that were hacked. Most likely, you will not be able to play online, but will only go offline.
3. Old games that do not require registration and keys, but support only the game on the local network.

With the inherent thrust of any Russian person to freebies, you can safely say that a lot more people play in the second two types of games. But what if you want to play your favorite toy with friends, but there is no local network? And in general, you after the university have gone to different cities? Then the program we are considering comes to the rescue. So how to play through Hamachi? What it is?

About Hamachi

"Hamachi" is a utility that works online. Its task is to create a VPN - virtual private network. A virtual private network, in its essence, is an imaginary image of a local network. If you install "Hamachi", the setting of which will take about 5 minutes, even without being an experienced user, you can instantly create a local network between the selected computers. How exactly this happens, what technologies are used - it is not necessary to know this.

Installation

Finally, we turn directly to the question: "How to play through Hamachi?"

1. First you need to download and install the LogMeIn Hamachi client. You can do it on their official website.
2. Then go through a simple registration procedure, which is not difficult for a person who regularly registers on various sites.
3. The next step will be either creating your own server, or joining an existing one. Connection to someone else we'll look at a little later, but for now we'll create our own.
4. Having logged in to the LogMeIn service, we will see an almost blank screen. Click the button "Add network".
5. For our task, to play with friends, it is enough to have a cellular topology.
6. Since the number of network participants is strictly limited, we set the parameter "Require confirmation" when connecting a new player.
7. We set a simple password, which you then tell your friends. Without it, they will not be able to connect to you.
8. Subscription. You can create a free network for a maximum of 5 participants. If you have more people, then throw the creator of the server for 1-2 euros, probably, will not be difficult, because 25 euros per year for 32 people is not such a large sum.
9. The final step is the addition of participants. Do not forget to add your own computer first. By sending to your friends a network identifier (for example, 297-910-329) and a password, they can submit an authorization request directly from the installed client.
