Title: Quick question about using SecuritySolutions and VPN
Post by: thisaintme on January 30, 2012, 05:57 pm
Do I need to connect to VPN on my "real" computer as well, not only in virtual machine, to hide my IP? Or can I browse i.e. Facebook on the clear side without VPN and do illegal activities on virtual machine with VPN connected? Thanks in advance.

Hi thisaintme,

This is not necessary as the VM itself proxies all of your internet traffic through tor which does hide your IP. That said, we would recommend doing your normal browsing (facebook et al) on your 'real' computer and only doing your SR related transactions on the VM. You don't want to make significant changes to your browsing history (i.e. all of a sudden every site you normally use, you now use through tor) as that in and of itself can raise flags, even using or attempting to use mtgox behind tor will get your account flagged and they may ask for verification as they state in their terms of service.

Thanks,
SecuritySolution
