COMODO network equal to hamachi unlimited people on 1 network

Kiro:
Installing it now. It sounds good!

doctorfrog:
For those concerned with such things, Comodo EasyVPN installs two Windows services that are set to Automatic:
- Comodo EasyVPN Service
- Comodo EasyVPN VNC Service (a rebranded version of the free open source software TightVNC)

If you set these services to 'Manual,' Comodo's product isn't quite smart enough to start and stop them on its own, so you'll have to do so manually, or leave them always running in Automatic mode.

For those not concerned with such things, ignore this post, you'll be fine.

Also, this VPN seems a little slapdash compared to Hamachi/Logmein. It already bunched up the first email I registered, and there is no way to recover a lost account without signing up separately for their forums.

Seacow:
And the mysterious Seacow has appeared.

I recommended checking the Options settings. It's pretty n00b friendly, so don't be scared.

Seacow:
So anyway, we now have Hamachi, EasyVPN, and now Tunngle. We will definitely have people split between different networks, sooner or later. This will eventually become a problem when the community get's bigger. IMHO, we should all merge into one VPN solution for now(or for u purists who will stick with just IP connecting) until Arcen Games make their own online solution (if I'm not mistaken).

The question is, which one?

Clearly the better choice is either Tungle or EasyVPN, as Hamachi has a limited number per group. With a few bugs to it attached. EasyVPN is also nice, but I get the feeling it's not supported much by Comodo. It also isn't that...gamer friendly. Tunngle looks pretty impressive. It's already been defined in many reviews as the "Hamachi for Gamers". The maker's of Tunngle are also regularly releasing updates for their program, showing that there is constant support for the program. There is also a small but active community making translations for the program and such, for it's still in beta. I find it to be the candidate as an appropriate solution long-term.

Although I did get a good 50 or so people into EasyVPN, I get the feeling it isn't "awesome in the pants" type of thing. So yeah...which egg do we pick from the batch? Hamachi, Tunngle, EasyVPN, wait for the developers or some alternative solution?

Oewyn:
Honestly, the easiest solution is to just forward the one port that AI war uses, and host.  No need for added latency for VPN/Hamachi/Whatever else.  If you can't forward the port, get a new router, every one built in the last 5 years should have that capability.

Unless there is some other reason for using these services that isn't apparently obvious, I don't see the point.
