Have anyone tried Tailscale as a Hamachi alternative? (yiffit.net)

I used to use Hamachi on Windows to play "local LAN" games with my friends, has anyone tried using Tailscale for this purpose? As far as I know it should work fine, but I'm not sure and I don't have any friends to try it out with, but it makes me curious.

I've used Tailscale for this numerous times, and ZerpTier. Please get rid of Hamachi, it's truly terrible software.

Didn't hamachi die 20 years ago when it was purchased by logmein and nerfed the free version to something unusable?

[–] Xirup@yiffit.net 6 points 7 months ago

To be honest I don't know and I didn't care at the time I used it either because I knew nothing about software or computer security and just listened to what some random youtuber said, but you're probably right.

LogMeIn's TeamViewer is free for personal use but I have been flagged three times for commercial use even though I barely use it.

Then I have to send an email which seems to be ignored for months until it starts working again.

Seems they do not want personal users, they only want potential customers.

When Hamachi became unusable I switched to Tailscale to connect my phone, my laptop, and all my local PCs together. It just works, flawlessly. There are more features they offer like Exit Nodes (proxy servers to force Internet traffic through another PC on your Tailscale Network) and sharing your tailnet nodes with another Tailscale user on a separate tailnet, but realistically I just use it like I used Hamachi - as a dead-easy VPN between all my personal devices.

Great, thanks.

Yes absolutely. Back in the day I used Hamachi for Minecraft servers, now I run a server with offline mode enabled through Tailscale with zero fear of anyone but my friends accessing it.

Not tailscale, but I have used zerotier as an alternative and it worked well

Didn't even know that Zerotier exists, I have to check it out, thanks!
