Install LogMeIn Hamachi on Ubuntu

Download and install

Follow these steps:

  1. Create an account on vpn.net
  2. Download the appropriate linux client (for Ubuntu will typically be 64bit tgz) here
  3. Untar and run the installer

Enable Hamachi

Now its time to run the hamachi command line interface to add the client to our LogMeIn account. You should do all the following as a root user:

# This will activate Hamachi and connect to the servers
hamachi login
hamachi attach <your-email-address>

# Now set a memorable nick name for your Ubuntu VPN client
hamachi set-nick <my-ubuntu-web-server>

# Now you can join a network. Your network ID can be found in https://secure.logmein.com/central/Central.aspx (click on the link next to the network name to view the network details, including its id. Should be a number like 123-456-789)
hamachi do-join <your-network-id>
# If you set a password, type it in...if you did not just hit Enter
# If you set the network to require approval, you'll have to again go to Central and approve the request

# If you get stuck, this will give you a list of additional options...
