Question - Running Hyper V VM's through a VPN?

[Razzrr]

So I was wondering if I were to set up Hyper V VM's and run everything thru a VPN would Daybreak be able to detect this since they should not get past the VPN provider to do whatever they claim they do to get Local Scans of the host machine (My machine) running the sessions?

Good question. Signing on to this thread

People have been banned for using vms to bypass truebox mechanics.

That's about all I know.

What Razerr is talking about something a little more complex Pass

Would they be able to detect a VPN? I thought I saw "No VPN allowed" somewhere.

 

[Esquire]

I know a ton of people playing on VPN's because they got IP banned by Daybreak.

You probably say "no VM's"

Everyone should be using a VPN just for general privacy - nothing to do with DBGs.

its easy to identify hardware that is being used to play a game. it is even easier to identify if that hardware is on a VM.

Rhiza this is why I am asking the question I am. Obviously Virtual NIC's etc can be identified however the method I am told they use to "Scan" our hardware should be something not possible however they could run something on the backend to identify the Virutal NIC but otherwise if you connect through a VPN this technique should be useless because it will pull the VPN's information not the local client (VM or whatever you play on). I have heard of alot of people running via VM's even on the TLP servers. Also with Hyper V it may be safer then say VMware for a Virtualized system as it can be an enabled Microsoft feature within the Host OS not requiring something with the VMware tags attached to it.

whether they scan outside of their process no one knows. its illegal but its one of those grey area's that can not be confirmed unless they do something crazy overt which could only be done with info they gained illegally. if they do scan outside of their process, having a VPN does nothing to change that at all.

if they do not scan outside of their process, then you would be a bit safer, but my understanding (which is limited) is that they can still identify things like graphics card etc, which on a VM says something along the lines that its borrowed from host (can't remember exact wording i'm sorry).... again which a VPN does nothing to either.

if you have a theory, test it

 

[Razzrr]

Yeah I was just curious about it. I suppose in the stream they could be tossing in some registration packets pulling information from our machines but there is nothing you can do about that one.

Windows on Hyper V will identify itself be default as a VM. It knows it's a VM.

Virtualbox with instances on Windows XP + 4 Ports NIC (Real Ethernet Hardware from a known brand like Intel) or more + OpenVPN on IPv6 preferred (IPv4 encapsulated) with 256kbit AES cipher.

 

[Razzrr]

Awesome ty for the input!

 

[janktron]

This does work. You can log in and play (which is more than you can do with a default install of vmware). Whether or not you get banned in the next wave of bans I don't know. But tested and confirmed it works

 

[bigash256]

Has anyone been doing this for awhile with any problems?

 

[q8reflex]

It can work as long:

- You make sure each instance assigned to a Physical NIC (Intel Quad NIC cards suggested).
- You have latest Virtualbox.
- Instances based on Windows XP.
- OpenVPN on IPv6 preferred (IPv4 encapsulated optional).
