Lee Mathews over at DownloadSquad writes how he previously used a combination of Hamachi and UltraVNC for hassle-free remote support setups. At the time (again, this was a long time ago), Hamachi had a lot of reliability and speed issues – so he ended up switching to TeamViewer. That is until Lee discovered Comodo’s free Easy VPN application.

Like Hamachi, Comodo’s Easy VPN app supports multiple virtual networks. To give a friend access, simply provide the name and password and they’re ready to join. When logged in, the icon next to their name will turn green and you can then ping, chat, and even remote control to your heart’s content. All traffic is 128-bit encrypted. Ping times and file transfer speeds are respectable and competitive with Hamachi. The remote control software (which feels and works a lot like many VNC apps) works well, and is perfect for quick, long-distance assistance.

Machines connected on a Comodo Easy VPN network function just like the computers attached to your home router. You can share files, folders, and even printers. Need to be able to print on the fancy color laser printer at work from the comfort of your kitchen table? Easy VPN is a hassle-free way to get the job done.
