Re: [H] VPN question
So long as that isn't your ISP-assigned IP. :) Definitely understand on VMWare Workstation, but it still has some advanced network mapping capabilities, including the ability to run bridged, host NAT, isolated, etc. -Original Message- From: Hardware On Behalf Of Bobby Heid Sent: Monday, November 23, 2020 6:04 PM To: hardw...@lists.hardwaregroup.com Subject: Re: [H] VPN question Thank you all for the responses. I went to whatsmyip.com on both the host and the VM and both returned the same IP address. So I think I am good. Remember that I am running VMWare Workstation. Not the same as a regular VMWare host.

Re: [H] VPN question
Should be protected the way you have it but run a IP scan on the VM and make sure it is showing location of your VPN and not your real IP addy. Most providers have setups for routers so everything on your network is protected. lopaka On Sun, Nov 22, 2020 at 6:33 AM Bobby Heid wrote: > Hey, > > > > I am running NordVPN and VMWare 14 workstation on my Win 10 PC.
