[SGVLUG] VirtualBox networking question

[4V4-WRG]

I like and use Vbox a lot but use it for only a limited amount of web activity.


If you download the link below and run the ISO in Vbox then you can have Tor with an IP that changes every 10 minutes. 

ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/oniondsl/oniondsl-0.1.1.iso

This is called Damn Small Linux, with Tor added. The original DSL is just under 50 MB.
This ISO is around ~90MB


To check it go to the 1st link below. To see the browser ID go to the 2nd link.


http://whatismyipaddress.com/

http://id.furud.net/identify.php/


It's an anonymous web surfing but I only use it for limited stuff. Never for logging into email and bank accts.
Web searches and stuff like that. The ID shows it as FF 2.0 and Windows XP

With constraints as described, Virtualbox is not going to get you an ip address outside your firewall.  Best bet is to use an aws node or something like that if you don't have wired or wireless access to an external network.

So using VirtualBox, I created a virtual machine running Ubuntu.  When I bring up a browser, I'm able to access a web server as if I was connecting directly from my desktop.  I want to configure this virtual machine so it has an IP address outside my local network.
