@Steve – It’s not the same thing. A VPN would not allow you to host games on your computer.

So if I set up a VPN on my computer can I host game servers on it? Or is this not the same thing?

Hmm..good article on using Log Me In..which is a great tool for accessing and manipulating a remote computer. But it is definitely NOT useful as a VPN service..very very slow, fine for remote troubleshooting or moving files but unuseable for Hulu or any sites that block out-of-country use. Also, I didn’t learn anything in the article about Hamachi at all. I have tried several 3rd party VPNs..the fastest and easiest by far is Astrill. If you actually need a VPN give it a try. I think the article is misleading and does not explain how slow and cumbersome it is to use remote management software to try to access Hulu, Movie site, Pandora and the rest..

I think that many users, even very experienced and fairly savvy ones, have troubles setting up VPN networks. For most people the easiest solution will be to go with third party remote access software. This way the risk for leaving security holes open is minimized and, in my view, more options are made available.

Remote control definitely works and can work well, but the downside is that it tends to be a lot slower and less efficient for watching or streaming video/audio, or if one has high resolution or multiple displays.

What would be nice is to use one’s home computer as a secure, single-user (typically, let’s say), completely transparent proxy server–but does Hamachi let one do that? At full speed, even in the free product? And transparent to http, https, e-mail, Skype, etc. etc.?

I wish there were a great one-click/newbie-friendly, reliable, and ideally free solution to this problem without the practical speed and reliability limits free servers commonly have.

Astrill Is A Fast And Affordable VPN

A virtual private network offers several advantages over the normal Internet connection. It increased privacy and data safety by making use of encryption. The VPN provider basically works as a proxy for all Internet traffic. The websites and services that are accessed send the data to the VPN without knowing where the data is really send to. The same is true for the ISP of the Internet user who also does not know the real destinations nor the kind of data that gets transferred.

Astrill is a new virtual private network provider. Servers provided by Astrill are located in the United States and the United Kingdom and it is up to the user to decide which to use. This can be important from a performance perspective but also to access contents that make use of country locks to only allow specific countries access to the contents.

The biggest benefit of Astrill over comparable vpn providers is that the service does not require any connection configuration. Most vpn providers ask the user to create a new vpn connection. Astrill comes with a software that will handle all the connection settings. All the user needs to do to login is to provide the login credentials that have been selected during setup of the account.

Starting Astrill afterwards will display a small program window with Off and On buttons, a country selector and links to settings and help.

The same window displays the download and upload speed of the service. The homepage of Astrill displays additional interesting information in a server stats menu including the current network utilization.

More important than those raw figures is if performance demanding applications run fine when using Astrill. A problem of many vpn providers, especially the free ones, is that they do not provide the infrastructure to make activities such as video and audio streaming enjoyable. Astrill manages to provide the speeds needed to watch videos at sites like Hulu or Youtube HD videos without buffering issues.

Astrill works without lags with many popular services such as Hulu or Pandora.

The software is currently offered as a version for the Windows operating system. A Mac, Linux and mobile version is following shortly according to the developers.
