What do you think of virtual box as opposed to VMware?

Since each VM contains a unique operating system installation, you can configure network settings for each VM just like you would if you had multiple computers. Personally, I create a VM for each of my accounts then purchase a VPN for each account. Then in the VM settings I configure each one to connect only to its designated VPN. That way I NEVER have to worry about my IP. I don't use dongles or tethering, but it's the same concept. You configure each VM individually, so you have complete control over network settings.

As for the OP's question, I'm currently running 10 accounts this way on a 5 year old cheapo laptop, and it's a flawless setup IMO. I usually only power on 1 VM at a time, but even my piece of crap laptop could easily handle 3 VM's (accounts) running simultaneously. I use a stripped down version of Windows XP (TPB, FYI), so each VM is fairly lightweight. I configure each VM to have a maximum hard drive size of 10Gb, and to use a maximum of 1G RAM. You don't have to use XP, but I recommend a lightweight setup so your VM's don't drain your resources like 30 user accounts is doing. A lot of people recommend Linux. I hate Linux, but that is a viable option for VM stealth, especially if you torrenting skills aren't up to date.

Using virtual machines is a way simpler stealth technique than having tons of user accounts, but first you have to understand exactly what a VM is and how they work. A virtual machine is literally a computer within your computer.

RE VWware workstation
Does it cost $250? Is this the VWare everyone is talking about?
And with this I can set up unlimited accounts?

Yes most people use VMware workstation and you can make as many computer images as you want using it, highly recommended for managing multiple stealth accounts

I use an Apple system and it appears the VMware Workstation Pro 12 does not run on OSX. Is there a comparable version of VWare that will work on the OSX that functions like the Workstation Pro? I like how it's setup and can be used compared to the regular VMware.

Yes I believe VMware Player is very similar & for MAC
