VNC will work too and be secure as Hamachi is encrypted everything.
You can also use remote desktop even though I have not tried.

All your traffic for your target computer goes encrypted through the
Hamachi tunnel. This means that you need to trust to computer you are
using to communicate with the computer behind the firewall or run a
software firewall on the machine behind the firewall.

Hamachi is assigning a unique IP address to the machine running the
daemon in the 5.x.x.x range. I am using zoneedit.com for my external
DNS needs. It's free.

The machine behind the firewall can by dynamically assigned. it does not matter.

The podcast is really informative and I will start by listening to it.

Sincerely,
David.
