Promotion of P2P is generally discouraged at TSG.

Hamachi is a UDP-based virtual private networking system. Its peers utilize the help of a 3rd node called mediation server to locate each other and to boot strap the connection between themselves. The connection itself is direct and once it's established no traffic flows through our servers.

Hamachi is not just truly peer-to-peer, it is verifiably secure peer-to-peer.

Believe it or not, but we are able to successfully mediate p2p connections in roughly 97% of all cases we dealt with so far (few tens of thousands as of early March). This includes peers sitting behind different firewalls and/or broadband routers (aka NAT devices). It is high-tech and it is really cool

HOWTO: Run a private Gnutella2 Hub on Hamachi using Shareaza

This appears to be for file sharing.
Why is this allowed and bittorrent not?

It does appear to be a lot like P2P. With that in mind, the thread is closed. Please read the forum rules, especially the part about P2P applications.
