The second problem, when I turn off turn on Internet connection of VM several times (4-6 times), Viscosity not automatically reconnects by itself, need do manually.
Because of those 2 problems, I or my colleagues can do mistakes to leak real IP.
Could you give me advice ...
Thanks | I can't remember if Viscosity has a built in Kill Switch or not... Either way I wouldn't trust it... A kill switch built into a VPN client has too many moving parts... But that's only my personal opinion. And I could code my own... That might have something to do with it.
If your using VMware you already have one of the best Kill Switches available...
Just run the VPN client on the host... (connect the host to the VPN instead of the guest)
Then in VMware click "Edit" in the upper left before powering on the virtual machine..
Select "Virtual Network Editor"
Select "Bridged (connect VM's directly to the external network)
Then click the drop down for "Bridge to:" and select the VPN Client Adapter (what ever its named) in Window you could find its name in Network and Internet/Network Connections. The VPN NIC would be the proper term for it but you VPN client could name it anything.
Then the only internet connection the VM can get is from the VPN... (as long as you aren't plugging in any USB WiFi adapters while the VM is powered on) (or adding any other removable devices that would give the VM connection to the internet).
