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.

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

      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.
