Tunngle: The 3 best alternatives
Tunngle is a popular program to create public virtual networks (VPN). However, there are also sensible alternatives that we present to you in this practical tip.
The 5 best VPN providers in the video:
Tunngle alternative: Hamachi
The most well-known VPN software on the market is Hamachi.
- Hamachi offers you the opportunity to establish a network connection between selected PCs via the Internet. Tunngle, on the other hand, offers open "rooms" in which all PCs are linked to one another.
- In addition, Hamachi routes your data directly from PC to PC and not via a central data server. Your data is secured with AES encryption. The Hamachi server is only required once to set up the connection.
Tunngle alternative: OpenVPN
OpenVPN is the alternative for network experts
- In contrast to Tunngle and Hamachi, OpenVPN offers you a variety of setting options. For inexperienced users, however, this can be overwhelming at first and require a certain amount of time to familiarize themselves.
- Another difference is that OpenVPN does not set up a peer-to-peer network, but uses a central server.
- The big advantage of OpenVPN is the depth of setting, which enables, for example, SSL encryption protocols and authentication types, which means that you can easily lock out unwanted users.
Tunngle alternative: Evolve
As a social gaming platform, Evolve is somewhat out of the pattern of the programs presented so far, but also offers the option of creating VPNs.
- In this comparison, Evolve Tunngle is probably still the closest. Originally designed as a gaming platform, Evolve focuses more on communicating with each other. In addition to a list of friends, you will also find public, game-related chat rooms.
- The party function allows you to quickly and easily create a VPN connection between you and your friends. You can then play games together over your simulated LAN connection.
- In addition to the VPN options, Evolve offers native streaming support and a game overlay, which makes the program interesting for professional players.
