WOBURN, Mass., Feb. 13, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- LogMeIn, Inc., creator of the world's most widely used remote connectivity and support services, has been named to PC Magazine's 'Best Free Software' cover story in its February 20, 2007 print issue.
LogMeIn Hamachi provides users (remote employees, branch offices, consultants, even customers) access to traditional network resources such as intranets and shared folders as well as support and diagnostic tools. It takes less than a minute to set up, requires no firewall or router reconfiguration, and delivers a VPN connection over a direct, secure point-to-point link.
In the article, freelance writer Ben Z. Gottesman wrote, "There's a good chance that if you access your office from home or the road, you connect through a VPN that encrypts all the traffic between your PC and the office network. Similarly, LogMeIn Hamachi creates an encrypted tunnel between individual PCs so you can easily and securely access your home PC from anywhere on the Internet."
"PC Magazine has recognized the value and variety of free products available online today and we're pleased to be among their favorites," said Marton Anka, CTO for LogMeIn. "LogMeIn Hamachi provides a flexible, fast and secure LAN experience over the Internet."
