Hamachi and Cisco VNP Crash Computer

I don’t know why, but they just don’t seem to go together. Having the Hamachi Network Interface enabled makes my computer crash after some minutes if I start Cisco’s VPN adapter. It first happened when I opened some PDF at JSTOR. Even if I avoided PDFs via the VPN, the computer hung itself after a while. Anyway, since Hamachi doesn’t disable its network connection after use, and since I’m too lazy to do this manually all the time, it’ll do without this tool.

    Just know it from our remote service facilities. There even the installation of two different VPN clients have lead to system crashes or strange behaviours. I am no expert in that, but as far as I know they change some essential stuff like routing in your network configuration. Nearly every VPN clients acts as a kind of virtual network adapter. As soon as it is activated/connected, all traffic is routed by default over it. So if you are using two at the same time and in addition on a Windows machine …

    If you need two VPN tunnels at the same time, what about setting up a VMWare Server (freely available) and running a seperate Windows installation for each VPN client in a VMWare? In case of a crash of one of those, you can still use your computer and reboot just the VMWare ;-)

    You computer people! What you write sounds plausible but impossible for me to set up in less than a week searching for solutions in abysmally nerdy forums. I just need my own private admin. ;-)
