That’s less than a dime (or ten cents for you guys outside the US) per computer per month. We’ve introduced a very affordable pricing tier for Hamachi a while back $29 per year gives you a network capable of hosting 32 computers. We have very interesting ideas for the Hamachi service’s future, but in order to fund development, we need more customers. Hamachi is an extremely popular free service with many millions of active users, but we here at LogMeIn can only treat it as a hobby since the revenues from the paid product can only support a rather small dedicated development team after we pay for hosting, bandwidth and power. The IPv6 space we’re using has been registered to LogMeIn, and most modern software should function perfectly without needing an IPv4 address. However, our general recommendation is that if you can, please turn off IPv4 support in your Hamachi clients. We have no Hamachi users from this address space, and it’s highly unlikely that the general public would need to access one of these IP addresses. Why 25/8? Well, it rhymes a bit with 5/8, and furthermore, it’s a block that’s been allocated to a foreign government agency for private use for almost two decades. If, however, you use Hamachi IP addresses in scripts or, say, saved them in SSH client address books, you will need to change these and add the digit 2 in front. If you’re using Hamachi with any sort of dynamic name resolution service (Bonjour, etc) you will not notice anything different. The first octet of your Hamachi node’s IPv4 address will change from 5 to 25, the last three octets will be unaffected. Therefore we’ll be changing every Hamachi node’s address to the 25/8 space. We’ve added IPv6 support to Hamachi a while back, and you can simply turn off the use of the 5/8 space, but we realize that IPv4 is still very important to most of you. RIPE NCC has been handing out these addresses to their customers, and having Hamachi active on your computer means that you’re not able to access a growing portion of the Internet. As you may or may not be aware, this address space has been allocated by IANA to RIPE NCC two years ago. The first change concerns the use of the 5.x.x.x address space. I’d like to announce a couple of changes to the LogMeIn Hamachi service that will take effect on the 19th of November. Below is an open letter from our CTO, Marton Anka to our loyal Hamachi users.
