Windows only: Free application Comodo EasyVPN creates a virtual private network between your computers for a hassle-free, secure private network. That means you can access, for example, anything on your home computer from work as though you’re on the same local network.
Comodo EasyVPN, like previously mentioned VPN app Hamachi, is simple to set up. Just install the application, register for an account, and then log in. Once you’ve got the app running on a couple of computers, you can easily (and securely) access one computer from the other as though you’re on the same local network.
As we mentioned in our guide to Hamachi, a VPN comes in handy when:
- You’re on the road with your laptop and want secure access to your PC’s files.
- Your office or dorm room computer is behind a restrictive firewall that doesn’t let you reach it from the internet.
- You want to add encryption to insecure network protocols like VNC.
- You want to set up a shared folder of files for friends and family to access.
We showed you how to set up secure VNC with Hamachi, and the same basic steps would apply with Comodo EasyVPN. So is EasyVPN better than Hamachi? Not necessarily, but since LogMeIn bought Hamachi, it’s only free for non-commercial use. If you want or need to use a VPN for work purposes and don’t have the extra budget, Comodo EasyVPN will do the job nicely. Update: Apparently EasyVPN is also only available for non-commercial use. This information was not on the main page, but I missed it on their download page. Apologies for the confusion. Apart from the basics, EasyVPN also comes with a built-in, secure chat tool.
Comodo EasyVPN is a free download, works with Windows XP and above with support for 32- and 64-bit systems.
Windows/Mac: Libox makes it easy to share music, movies, and photos with your friends in a private P2P network.
After installing the Libox media browser and importing your media, you can share with friends—they must be using the Libox browser also—as easily as if you were sharing a link to a collection of pictures online. Your data isn't stored on the Libox servers, their servers just facilitate a connection between your client and that of your friend.
You can also use Libox to sync media between your own computers. Check out the video to see it in action:
A very alpha-feature allows you to browse your collection through a web browser instead of the desktop client, but currently only works if you’re not blocked by a firewall, so it’s limited to local network browsing.
Have another method of easily sharing files with friends in a private network? Let’s hear about it in the comments.
