Hello all, had some questions I'm hoping the community could help answer in regards to tip#1 as quoted below:
"
#1. Use a VPN/Proxy and VM to separate ur accounts.
VPN/Proxy - provides you with another alternate IP to your home IP, think about it...if your botting all your bots on one IP, and you get banned, most likely you will lose all your bots and your main.
By using a VM which creates a virtual computer with its own MAC and Hardware addresses, you can use a VPN to give it a separate IP to your main computer. Then if a ban occurs on one (if you had 2 accounts ++) the other/s will most likely be safe."
How are you running PoE in the VM? Is there a guide on this? I was going to use the native Hyper-V capability in Win 8, loaded up a Win7 VM, downloaded client and get an error in regards to video. Doing some searching, seems there are quite a few issues with doing 3d graphics on a virtual machine. There are some workarounds but they all look rather complex or have specific hardware or OS requirements, so how are most accomplishing this?
Also, how does running it in a VM help with IP addresses as your external facing IP is still the same as the host computers which is set by your ISP. My ISP give's me a dynamic IP that changes daily so maybe I have some relief there assuming I don't log into my main the same days as my bot, but maybe I'm misunderstanding how this is done?
Appreciate any help or links to guides with which to educate myself, I realize I am new to this and may not be understanding some of these concepts.
THX!
