In other words Hamachi is a program that allows you to arrange multiple computers into their own secure network just as if they were connected by a physical network cable.

VPN that is very simple to use.

From TFA:

Hamachi is a UDP-based virtual private networking system. Its peers utilize the help of a third node called a mediation server to locate each other and to bootstrap the connection between them. The connection itself is direct and once it is established no traffic flows through our servers.

Hamachi is not just truly peer-to-peer; it is verifiably secure peer-to-peer.

Believe it or not, but we are able to successfully mediate p2p connections in roughly 95% of all cases we have dealt with so far. This includes peers residing behind various firewalls or broadband routers (aka NAT devices). It is high-tech and it is really cool :)

Wow, it's "high tech" AND "really cool!" I'm sold! :)

If you read the "verifiably secure" link, it is deceptively worded to mask the fact that you are using a glorified man-in-the-middle service like GoToMyPC. I think I'll pass.

This definitely doesn't pass the snake oil test to me.
