vm machine - bridged connection

dino66uk · #1 05-13-2016

Hi Guys,

I am finally setting up my virtual machine for my eBay Stealth account.

I have purchased a dedicated Fresh IP and that needs setting up.
Is it really necessary to have a Bridged connection??

With a bridged connection do you need to have a physical connection or can be used by wireless too? I am struggleing to understand about setting this up.

Can I not just connect to a normal NAT network adapter and connect to the client to use the Dedicated IP address?

Please help, Thank you.

Bridge works with wireless as well, the only thing you need to focus is connecting your VM to the internet after that piece of cake.

Much appreciated for your reply. So is it a must I use a bridged connection ?

Or can I use a normal connection with a NAT ?

Thank you

It doesn't matter, use anything that connects you to the internet. I say that because if you use VPN it won't matter if NAT or Bridge as long as the VPN gets to the internet.

Yes, as long as you are connecting through your VPN when you are going to PP, eBay, Amazon you are good. A extra piece of security would be to set some firewall rules for your browser to block any incoming traffic when on those sites in case your VPN goes down unexpectedly you wont be exposing you real IP address.

Agreed. If your using 24vc, see their how to's on creating a killswitch for VPN.
