So I've been getting into hacking and I work in IT now. I was thinking if it were a good idea to use my virtual box to create a VPN, then using that for my pc and using a proxy when I load kali (assuming the proxy server is somewhere else). I'm in college so if you have any other tips drop some.
I need some input on VPNs and Virtual Box |
If your just performing legal penetration testing and not black hat activities it’s completely fine otherwise it’s not very anonymous
Yeah not anonymous at all it's all coming from your machine/IP and the proxy well never know sometimes browsers leak dns or IP. I always suggest people use a VPN anyways for legal pentesting because you don't want someone snooping and getting data which belongs to a client or something similar.

Making a vpn on a virtual machine being ran on your own pc (also your own network) will look like this:
Your PC -> VPN on VM -> Your PC (for network) -> endpoint (can be a website you are pentesting) What I am saying is, you aren't protected from anything at all, only thing that happens is you will get slower connection. I misread it. My bad. Assuming the proxy (and also the VM) is hosted somewhere else, and the host is bulletproof, you will be secure but you still will have to be careful. Also, why run a VM on a server? Just make the proxy server there directly instead of through a VM.
Thank you guys, I was just wondering if I were hacking if it were a good idea. It'd just be a lot to trace but eventually you would get there anyways. Also, I'm running kali and running kali through the proxy while id have the computer using the vpn I created on my virtual box. Weird but just an idea
