Access FMS7 through VPN Hamachi

[cclub75]

Hi,

I've got a FM Server 7.03 Windows XP, on a local network. I would like to access it, from outside, with a simple and secure solution.

I've made some tests with Hamachi (VPN peer to peer) on 2 simples PC and simple FM7. It works great.

My question is is it possible, or reasonable, to install Hamachi on the PC runing the FM Server ? Or the rule is really to not install any other software on the server ?

What do you think ?

Possible, yes. Reasonable or recommended, No, not at all. If what you're trying to do is protect the data in transit, you don't need the VPN. Turn on encryption in FMS.
