'''Hamachi''' is a section of a proprietary VPN solution, which is primarily known for its simplicity in terms of configuration and is therefore particularly popular among the fans of computer games. Hamachi manufacturer also uses the advertising slogan "Finally, a VPN that just works" (Eventually VPN that just works).

			Hamachi supports VPN '''on-demand''' for networks that use certificated-based authentication, so the VPN connection is made whenever the device tries to connect to certain domains and as soon as they try to access such a server the VPN connection is initiated.

	Hamachi is a centrally managed VPN system that consists of a server cluster, which is managed by the producer and the client program that is installed on the end user's computer. The client program will install a new virtual network adapter to which outgoing packets are transmitted to Hamachi program, which in turn transmits them over the Internet through a UDP connection. Incoming packets are sent Hamachi program that sends them to the virtual network card.
