Mac Server Series: Setting Up A VPN On A Mac With Hamachix
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) can be used for security and convenience. Sometimes it can be difficult to get a VPN working but we’ve found a great free tool called HamachiX to make set up quite simple. And it’s ability to go thru firewalls and routers is amazing.
I apologize if I used any VPN terms wrong. I’m new to the use of VPN’s, but this video is complete in the set up and should have your new VPN up and running in no time.

Just curious. What are the first two icons on your menubar in the video?

thanks for the Info, Hey are you running Hamachix on a mac Intel system?
November 30th, 2006 at 10:39 pm
Major, the icons were Timbutku and iShowU
rob, All three of the machines I used in the tutorial were Intel ones.

i’ve set up my mac according to the first two tutorials. I’ve created a dyndns account. I’ve downloaded the dyndns updater. i’ve set my router to forward port 80 to my Mac. i type in the url for my site and i get this box that says, “To view this page, you need to log in to area “” on berokey.dyndns.org.” this box has data fields for a “Name & Password,” but as many things as i can think of to type in these fields, i can not get it to accept them. what have i done wrong?

Brilliant tutorials - thanks!
re: the Intel macs. The HamachiX website says it doesn’t work correctly on the Intel platform yet. Did you need to do anything special to get it to work? There’s a thread on the Hamachi forums (http://forums.hamachi.cc/viewtopic.php?t=7338) on the subject, but I’m afraid the detail is beyond me…

I noticed that HamachiX is associated with Log Me In. We use Log Me In on our office Windows XP machines. Is there a way to access those machines from my Macbook Pro laptop? It would help my wife and I manage our business or fix minor things while we are out of the office. Or Perhaps there is a version of Log Me In for Macs?? Your advice is most appreciated. I love the website and check it everyday using my widget.

To shed some light on how Hamachi is able to punch through firewalls:
The client connects to a central server and any intermediate NAT hardware (A router) automatically sets up a route through the firewall to the server since it’s an internal client setting up the connection. When a client requests a connection to another client (Client B having done the same when logging on to the Hamachi servers), the Hamachi client requests client B’s connection information and attempts to connect. The server provides this information and also tells client B to connect to Client A, including A’s details as well. For a moment, Client a is attempting to connect through a firewall but once computer B tries to make it’s own connection, that port is opened and traffic flows freely through both firewalls.
I found a better description (With pictures) that describes how Skype does it here (Different app, same principle): http://www.heise-security.co.uk/articles/82481
This is the basic means by which Hamachi makes it’s connections, however since you get a HamachiID (”Fake IP”) and another network interface, it is safe to say there is a little more going on than this.

Hii I promised to leave feedback on the super deluxe [B][URL=http://dealzer.com]hydroponics[/URL][/B] system I bought from Dealzer.com. Well, here it is. I bought the hydroponic system on September 1st. By the time it arrived, I had all my plans ready as far as the plants I have here to grow with. To unpack it (it came fully assembled) and plug it in - its ready to go - and to set my initial plants up, it took me about 30 minutes. I bought this with a Co2 system as well. Lo and behold this box is not only growing my plants at a rate of 1 inch per day, but by the time my first harvest came in, the younger plants were tall enough to move to the flowering chamber. This is pretty good and my first experience with a proper hydroponics system.
Well, lets see…. I can’t really find a single problem with this box, except maybe that it takes 2 people to move it around the house. But other than that, I haven’t seen a grow box looking this good before. I have made a few myself and bought from local dealers, but this is the best of the best. Everything from the clone chamber to the size is very well done. The customer service is very easy to deal with and very friendly. The system also comes with lock and key for security and came fully concealed.
Anyway, if you wanted a review, you got one. I give this company a 9.5 out of 10 rating.
I can’t say their perfect, but who is? Overall it was a great deal. Here their phone number if you need it. [b]888-HYDRO-81[/b] and their website name is [b]Dealzer.com[/b] [URL=http://www.Dealzer.com][B]grow box[/B][/URL].

Guys,
I’m Looking to buy [url=http://www.milesgershon.com][b]Entertainment Centers[/b][/url] or [url=http://www.milesgershon.com][b]Wall Units[/b][/url] For a new apartment building I’m working at in.
Can you guys give me a good recommendation of where is the best place to buy these? I live in Florida and I heard that the big thing about these [url=http://www.prlog.org/10333333-entertainment-centers-compact-and-utility-value.html]Entertainment Centers[/b][/url] is the cost of shipping and installation.
Thanks
Joe

It’s been a year since the iPhone 3G was launched, so the people that bought the iPhone 3G (with or without an contract) are entitled to get their iPhone unlocked so it can be used with sim cards from other carriers. In many companies is clear how to do this, you call a number, give the IMEI and you wil receive an text that will unlock the iPhone. Many thanks for the help!

I recently wiped my computer and downloaded itunes again, but i made sure to backup my files before wiping my computer. I bought new songs on my iphone, and i downloaded a song that is on itunes on my computer. I want to sync the song on itunes to the stuff that is already on my phone, without deleting the new songs that i just bought. does anyone know how to do that?
