Criticism
The 5.0.0.0/8 address block was allocated by IANA to RIPE NCC in November 2010. On April 23, 2012, RIPE started to give out the addresses from this prefix to LIRs. Hamachi users will not be able to connect to any Internet IP addresses within the range as long as the Hamachi client is running.
As of June 2012, addresses in the 5.0.0.0/8 block were already being assigned from LIRs to end customers, causing connectivity problems between users with Hamachi software installed and the rightful users of addresses in that range. LogMeIn acknowledged this in July 2012, but haven't taken any further actions so far, besides advising affected users to turn off IPv4 routing within their software. In its default configuration, Hamachi is still effectively hijacking packets meant to be delivered to the proper users of the address range that Hamachi is squatting on, by causing them to be tunneled through their system, which causes connectivity problems for users running Hamachi software and interfering with regular Internet routing functionality.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“Good criticism is very rare and always precious.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“People try so hard to believe in leaders now, pitifully hard. But we no sooner get a popular reformer or politician or soldier or writer or philosopher—a Roosevelt, a Tolstoy, a Wood, a Shaw, a Nietzsche, than the cross-currents of criticism wash him away. My Lord, no man can stand prominence these days. It’s the surest path to obscurity. People get sick of hearing the same name over and over.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“Cubism had been an analysis of the object and an attempt to put it before us in its totality; both as analysis and as synthesis, it was a criticism of appearance. Surrealism transmuted the object, and suddenly a canvas became an apparition: a new figuration, a real transfiguration.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
