LogMeIn Hamachi
LogMeIn Hamachi is a virtual private network (VPN) tool that creates a secure, encrypted virtual network between computers, allowing remote access and file sharing across geographically dispersed machines. It is widely used by remote teams, home users, gamers, and system administrators who need to establish point-to-point encrypted connections without complex VPN server configuration. Hamachi operates as a managed VPN service with a central relay system, making it straightforward to use compared to traditional VPN server setups. The app runs in the menu bar and manages network connections invisibly to the user once configured.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionLogMeIn Hamachi is running as a 32/64-bit Intel-only application with no confirmed native Apple Silicon build as of October 2024. The application continues to work under Rosetta 2 today, but Apple is removing Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028), meaning Hamachi will stop launching entirely on that release. LogMeIn has not announced a native Apple Silicon version, and with nearly two years until the deadline, now is a good time to evaluate alternatives. ZeroTier is a mature, free, open-source VPN alternative that ships as a native Apple Silicon application and offers similar virtual networking capabilities with a smaller footprint and peer-to-peer architecture. For users who strongly prefer Hamachi's centralized relay model and managed experience, contact LogMeIn support directly to ask about native Apple Silicon build plans before macOS 28 launches in September 2028.
