VPN and Dynamic
 

Hi guys, I am considering buying a number of VPN's for some of my accounts and Dynamic for some.

Just trying to get my head around all of this. I will be using one Laptop. Should I Purchase another Laptop and have the accounts with VPN Separate or I can easily switch from VPN to Dynamic Dongle.

I will eventually purchase another Laptop (My 3rd) but for testing purposes and for the next month or so I would prefer using the two for now.

Thanks!

Not necessary.
I myself work with several laptops with one of them having multiple user accounts on it - each user account is set for a different ebay/paypal I use - with its own IP solution set up.
This does maintain complete separation if done properly which is not difficult to do.

I have 3 accounts on one laptop (2 are VPN and the 3rd is whatever I get), so multiple laptops are not necessary. At the same time, it is nice to have separate user windows and to tweak things like have different browsers, so that's what I do. I use Google Chrome as my base, and i use Opera on one VPN and Mozilla Firefox for my 2nd VPN).

Virtual machines are also a great solution for managing multiple accounts/IPs. 20+ accounts configured with VPN access within VM's on my end.

So how do you switch from vpn to dynamic

Re: VPN and Dynamic
 

Why not look into cellphone tethering for dynamic IP?

Once you disconnect from the VPN you will always be using your regular ISP's internet, if you use VMware will be even easier to switch between dynamic & vpn by simply switching tabs

Think I read somewhere previously that a certain amount of tech knowledge needed to use VMware is that still the case or has it got enough 'easier' for someone with my level of tech knowledge to install and use it. Thinking about it maybe that is the issue, knowing enough to even be able to install it in the first place!

It just seems complex at first but once you know the basics its really simple and pretty convenient

Why to buy multiple laptops, can't you just buy multiple rdp instead and use them in one laptop?

Re: VPN and Dynamic
 

Why go to all that trouble connecting to some other Windows when you can have your own Windows locally? makes no sense. There's about 5-6 different ways to get an IP. Also, even with an RDP, if your mobile you still need to get an internet connection to connect to the RDP....just seems like more work.

It's actually extremely simple.
