   In Hamachi a user can name a network and optionally give it a   
   password.  Then the user gives out the name of the network and   
   password to anyone they want to allow to communicate with them.  This   
   is a many to one model and does not allow revoking the access of   
   individual users.   
      
   So instead of giving the name and password to multiple other users the   
   user creates multiple networks one for each user they want to allow to   
   communicate with them.  Since each network has a name&password this   
   provides the same access restrictions as a traditional VPN.  The   
   access of an individual user can be revoked by removing/changing the   
   password for the network associated with that user.
