I am genuinely curious about this.

The twin have been mostly using Hamachi to create or join a network of remote friends, to play games, as if they were in a local network. This is completely private and secure to the gateway and client computers.
I'm not sure how this enhances game play either, unless Hamachi networks used by enthusiasts are connected to optimum games servers. There are lists of Hamachi networks dedicated to particular games: http://www.hamachinetwork.info/Defau...Game=Minecraft
