@SandmanSys you can turn on VPN on host to further disguise your identity. Although personally I never had any real harm with having no VPN but it makes it still a bit safer and stealthier. Especially if you want to pretend to be from a certain country, e.g. I’m German so my VM browser shows German search results without VPN. With VPN set to USA, it looks more believable cuz all my search results are in English.

Ok, twice now when the scammer puts up the “updating” blue screen, its transparent (which I absolutely LOVE btw great job on that) it crashes the VM system.
I have the RAM maxed out for the VM system but it still happens. Any suggestions as to what else I could try ?
Seems to work great except with the webcam. ABSOLUTELY love this feature !
Thanks so much !

Hi! I am trying to find out what the best computer is to buy for this because mine clearly doesn’t have the specs that you specify nor the storage for the vm. Also I am not a tech savvy person so I am trying to find a service where I can not only buy the computer but have them do all of these things you’ve mentioned lol any advice?

Would this work? I know im being a pain but that’s why I tried to email. I plan to donate or pay for licensing whichever. I just need to ask a few questions as Im a newbie and don’t want to buy a computer that won’t work for this.

I need help lol I’m not tech savvy but want to do this. I mean I’m a lil older so I know computers but not coding or anything. My first question is what computer would you recommend I buy? Get a build done? I tried to look with some of the specifics you had above but there are so many options and I don’t want to over spend. I tried to email you also.

@pakak Hey! Sorry for the late reply. No clue about the crashes, it doesn’t happen with me. Can you try to re-create the issue and then check on Eventviewer what was the reason for the crash? Press Windows key, type “eventvwr”, right-click and run as admin, then go to Windows Protocols, and check both Application and System logs at that specific time and date when it crashed, make a screenshot or copy the text of what’s written there.
With the RAM, you should not assign too much RAM to the VM, otherwise, your host system doesn’t have enough. 4GB RAM to the VM is enough if you have 8-16GB of physical RAM installed on your host. For testing, you can also assign 6GB to the VM if you have 12-16GB RAM.
What’s with the webcam? Any issue there?
No problem, glad to help

@FandF Hey! Don’t buy the computer you showed in the picture, it seems to be quite outdated (DDR3 RAM is like 10+ years old by now). I suppose this is from Amazon? Somehow there are a lot of Chinese crap prebuilt computers out there with all the old and outdated, useless parts that nobody wants anymore. I would not buy there.
I’m not sure which country you’re from, I’m just assuming the US now. I’m from Germany so I don’t know all the available tech shops and options but there is Best Buy in the US/Canada, I found some decent system which can run the VM and has a little headroom above for $850: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/dell-inspiron-desktop-3030-intel-core-i7-processor-14-gen-16gb-memory-1tb-ssd-mist-blue/6574637.p?skuId=6574637
Generally, I’d say go for this price bracket of like $700-1000, of course depending on your budget and what other needs you have. Specifically, I don’t think you need a good GPU aka graphics card since you won’t game (I suppose?) so you can save on that. Everything below $700 will likely be too slow or give you an unpleasant experience with the vm so in my opinion, if you are already buying a new PC it should have enough power to do it smoothly.
Maybe if you have any tech savvy guy around you or in your neighborhood, you can also ask him or at the shop.
