I am already using hamachi and in general i am pretty happy with it but what bugs me is that hamachi doesn't have a andoid client

any suggestion to it or checking with their support gets a responds like please use logmein

 

now neorouter has an android client but no slack client as far as i can see

so was thinking maybe one of our linux guru's can port one ?

 

any other hosted vpn service you guys know that has both ?

Any reason why you're looking for a hosted VPN service and not roll your own (L2TP or OpenVPN, for example)?

well the hosted ones are giving you direct access to the server / computer in question

 

openvpn or you set it up on your router and then i have no clue how it accesses my server

or you install it after your router on a windows machine and then you still need to connect to a server ?

 

call it lazy maybe but i like hamachi

i use it all the time

only bad thing about it is that they don't have an android client

i would love to be able to access stuff from my tablet

I have OpenVPN on my router, and with it can access my servers behind the router.  I mostly just set it up so I could manage my ESXi server that hosts unRAID.  With OpenVPN it's like my Android phone is on the local network, so any tools that work via WiFi work properly.

 

Another option is to use SSH tunnels and port forward to devices behind your router. 

 

I'm running Tomato firmware on my router, and that enables both these options.

This threaad might be helpfull:
