quick question
 

Do i need to use a dedicated IP or VPN or anything of that sort along with a new mac address if i am using a Virtual Machine to make a new stealth account?

This goes for both etsy and amazon since i want to make accounts for both... I registered an LLC and acquired an EIN as well, will this be enough to make new accounts for both?

You would need a new IP regardless of the ecommerce platform. Using a VPN is only one of the many different ways you can get a new IP. IPbooger VPN's are really pushed around here since IPbooger is owned by Aspkin, but that is far from being your only option. You can also use mobile tethering, Mifi boxes from cell phone providers, a new wired internet connection, etc..

Re: quick question
 

No matter what you'll need an IP that's not been used on any other account you had before.

I used to just change IP on my modem as the ebay stealth and amazon ghost show us how to do, but that has become very tedious when you operate multiple accounts, so I went ahead and used IPburger VPN last year.

I haven't gotten linked and it's made my work a lot more efficient and faster.

Re: quick question
 

Even if i am using a virtual machine i need to get new IPs then?

If so, and i am using a virtual machine, do i get the new dedicated IP from IPburger on my host computer, then open my VM, and i'll be fine?

Re: quick question
 

Yes you need a new/different IP even with a virtual machine.

I guess there is a way to associate VPNs to virtual machine but I am not an expert in this field.
You can get in touch with VPN providers here in the marketplace.

Re: quick question
 

Using a virtual machine doesn't get you a new IP. Your virtual machine will access the internet with the same IP as your host computer by default.

What I do personally is install Softether VPN Client on all of my virtual machines and then configure each VM's VPN connection that way.

So yes, setting up your VPN connection within your VM is the way to go.

Re: quick question
 

A virtual machine is basically getting a new computer, so it only ticks that box.

You'll still need a new IP.

You install IP burger onto that virtual machine, that way the VPN is active ONLY within that virtual machine. You can do whatever you want on the host side without worrying about getting linked.

Re: quick question
 

Okay, I will use ipburger or softether from within the virtual machine. I don't have to worry about the mac address at all from inside the VM right?

I also have another question, the purpose IPBurger is to give me a new IP that is static right? meaning it wont change when I close my VM and turn it back on, etc. Will the VPN program give me an option of where to choose the IP location or does it just give me a random IP from anywhere in the world?

-this is just as a billing address question since within the LLC I listed the address of the business as my actual office's address, I don't know if this might affect verification or anything like that

Re: quick question
 

Mac address is never a concern. Don't worry about that.

Correct about IPBurger/Static IP. It will be a single IP. Location you choose.
