[edit] What is it?
With Hamachi you can organize two or more computers with an Internet connection into their own virtual network for direct secure communication.
Hamachi is fast, secure and simple. It is also free.

[edit] Initial Configuration
To run Hamachi you need /dev/net/tun.
This is created by the tun module. As root run,
modprobe tun
Or you can manually create /dev/net/tun by running...
mkdir /dev/net mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200
Also, make sure to add the "tun" modules to rc.conf so that /dev/net/tun is created next time your computer turns on.
MODULES=(... ... ... ... ... tun ... ... ...)
[edit] Download And Install Hamachi
Hamachi is avaiable in the AUR!
Download the package, untar it, and run...
makepkg
in the hamachi directory that is created.
Then add the package with...
pacman -A hamachi-(package version)
Now as root run...
tuncfg
Finally, run hamachi-init
hamachi-init
Or you can get it manually.
Head to hamachi.cc and download their linux client.
Untar it
tar zxvf hamachi-x.x.x-x.tar.gz
Compile:
cd hamachi-x.x.x-x make install
And run tunecfg
cd tuncfg ./tuncfg
Run hamachi-init
hamachi-init
And thats the installation.
[edit] Running Hamachi
Start up the (matt) daemon
hamachi start
Now you have a whole bunch of commands at your disposal. These are in no particular order, and are fairly self explanitory.
hamachi set-nick bob hamachi login hamachi create my-net secretpassword hamachi go-online my-net hamachi list hamachi go-offline my-net
To get a list of all the commands just run:
hamachi ?
[edit] GUI
I found this link on the forums at hamachii. Its a GTK2+ GUI frontend. Not bad if your into that sort of thing.
