I'm having a few issues with VPN

Little help please.

I set a up a VPN on hamachi for me and my friends to play on but we get about an hour into a game and they suddenly disconnect and the game competely freezes. I look at everyones status and says they are in fact DCd tho they are still in the game and lists me as migrating. Any ideas on whats happening?

It sounds like the host of the game minidumped.  If you log onto Ironclad Online you can play using Alloy which will in fact migrate the game to someone else.  However, you guys would probably want to restart from the last saved game point.  You could also just restart from the last saved game point over VPN.  The nice thing about Ironclad Online, of course, is that you can play games against other people when your friends aren't available.

And the bad part about ICO is that it lags more than NetScape

Would it be necessary to set up something like port forwarding if you wanted to play over VPN?  I haven't thought about it for a long time, but I think the Sins ports are 6000 and 6112.

Port 6112 primarily, as I've noticed (I've had 6112 forwarded for some time). Don't do multiplayer often, but I've not noticed any huge hiccups across a Hamachi VPN.

you also could use VPN Watcher - it stops all selected applications (including online games, messengers etc) while your vpn connection is broken
