VM for running adult games

[Halcyel]

I got the idea from a question someone asked. Will it be necessary or has someone already done it?, to run VN games in a virtual machine? Is it recommended or simply not?

It is possible but i personally don't see a reason to do it unless you want more security against viruses or to play something incompatible, the only time i did it was to use an old operating system to play an old VN but normally i see it as unnecessary

yes you can if you don't trust the files
you can use sandboxie or a VM
you can check in ressource monitor what happening in real time (network and process) to see if anything weird goes
or use Linux, there way less attacks on it, but you'll need to master cli and the system

It's a personal choice honestly.
I like having a VM solely dedicated for AVMs and other things.

Seems like an unnecessary waste of time to me...

Before this whole virus/malware thing I would have said that it probably was a waste of time. If hidden hacked malware becomes more prevalent this isn't a bad idea.

I support the Linux option. It's not immune but it's definitely safer.

If it got to the point I needed a VM just to run adult games I think I would just give up and become a monk somewhere isolated from civilization because things would be beyond fucked then.

it's just waste of time to put vm to run adult games if you are scare about virus anything try sandbox program it more fast and easy&secure.

You cant run from the VN's they will find you and u will have to play...

That´s why i was thinking, and bc my job, i have already a VM going in my pc.

I run them from a VM. Works great, remove internet access not real mallware threat at that point.

What VM do you use, and what OS?

 

[gbfacc999]

VMs are great, I think win 11 pro has VM so you dont need to install any VM

Thats nice, but i dont want to port to win11 yet, i dont know it doesnt convince me haha

I run loads of VM's. Mostly on my TrueNAS box, for anything I do not trust I put it in it's own vlan and only allow the remote desktop port in through the firewall.

For these games specifically I run a Win 10 Pro VM.

You could achieve the same with VM locally (on your PC) in virtual box/vmware player/vsphere. Just make sure to remove the network adapter so the there is nothing the VM can connect to.

some people suggest running a vm with anything so i guess i can see why

 

[jbk304]

TrueNas is a fantastic product. I've used it many times.

Thank you i'll test that
