How to Make a Game Server on Hamachi
Hamachi is a virtual private network shareware application. It gives you the ability to link to other computers behind NAT firewalls without the need for configuration, essentially emulating a local area network. If you have games you want to play with other users on different networks, you can connect through creating a game server on Hamachi.
