So I thought I would have a go at using the FW bot in a virtual machine....to do it properly I created a VM with win 7, got hold of a free VPN piece of software and selected a different country to route through. I ran an IP check online and confirmed the VPN was working. I then created a new email account, a new alpha eve account and signed in via the launcher on the VM with no problems.
BUT the problem I have ran into is that when i start the first run of eve pilot it closes the VPN software and reverts back to my 'actual' ip address.
I thought I had set it wrong so went into setting and selected 'use IP guard' in settings and then typed in the partial IP address for the IP that the VPN is running....but this still closed the VPN software and stops EP running at all as the IP address is my 'normal' one and doesn't match the one i typed into the IP guard box.
Any help would be great - if i can get this solved i will be buying a new license, hopefully this is an incentive to help me out
