$30 for solution to set up Virtual Machines on US PC with a UK IP,internet connection,etc

I am a long time poker enthusiast and have been a semi-professional poker player for the last 5 years. While this is not my day job, I do depend on it as a secondary source of income and make a substancial amount each month.

I play manually, but being a blackhatter I was looking for a way to automate those large MTT (mass table tournaments) so that I did not have to play for hours just to get past all the "fish" and terrible playing recreational poker players.

What I wanted was a Poker Bot that I could customize to act and re-act to hands, pot sizes, bet sizes, position, etc, etc...I tried practically ALL of them I could find....and they were all COMPLETE AND TOTAL B.S.

Finally I found one that allowed for complete customization and user coding of a script that dictates how the bot plays in virtually every scenario. It took me a long, long, long time (how about 300,000+ lines of freaking code to dictate plays) BUT eventually I was able to custom code a bot that can and does win.

I WILL NEVE SELL THE SCRIPT SO DON'T ASK.

I WOULD CONSIDER JVs IN THE FUTURE BUT AS OF NOW I NEED TO RESLOVE A FEW THINGS AND GET MY SETUP BACK ON LINE.

Ok, that's my story....here is my PROBLEM!!!

The TOP poker rooms are now banned in the U.S. Yes there are others, but it is affecting my monthly income by not being able to spread my play over other networks.
I need a way to appear in the UK on my virtual machines in terms of IP address and all other ways a computer's physical location could be tracked.

I'm thinking private proxies in UK, and accessing the virtual machines using a VPN??? But I'm not sure. Maybe even hosting the Virtual Machines on a cloud with UK datacenters (though I'd rather not have to do this since the resources needed to run my bot farm would be EXPENSIVE).

I NEED A FULL SOLUTION WITH A STEP BY STEP SOLUTION.

I DO NOT NEED ADVICE ON CASHING OUT USING A U.K ACCOUNT!!!

I have a partner in the UK who is letting me use their poker accounts, cashing out for me, etc. and sharing in a portion of the profit for letting me use their poker account.

I ALSO DON'T NEED YOU TO TELL ME TO VPN INTO THEIR PC EITHER...Fact is I can't do this because I do not want to share my script and based on how the bot is setup it would be accessible. I also don't want the responsibility of having access to his/her personal or work computer.

THIS NEEDS TO BE AIR TIGHT!!! I cannot risk losing $x,xxx per account if they get closed due to them finding out I'm playing from a U.S. computer and violating the site's TOS.

Thank you.

Sorry not step by step as i dont know what OS your using.

Simple solution: Just get a UK VPN, they are quite straight forward to set up. I would imgaine that any provider would have a step by step process for your OS.

Ultimate solution would be to have your virtual machines host in a UK datacentre, that way you dont need provide the resources etc

How many virtual machines do you need? How resouce hungry is the bot? How many UK IPs do you need?

Thanks for the quick reply steveo70...

The bot itself is not very resource heavy....though if I multi-table up to 6 at a time then it really needs a few gigs of RAM and a decent processing speed.

If I run it out of a VM on my PC that is not a problem, but if I run it on a server out of the UK costs for this start to rise quite dramatically since I would ideally want to run this 24/7 switching between accounts (that is what I did here in the U.S. before the official ban).

I could make do with 3 Virtual Machines to start with, but I'd like to scale to 6 or so. At which point I'll need to prob do some JVs (not for the bankroll/cash, but to get more authenticated accounts with people that can cash out).

I was under the impression that even with a UK VPN it would still in some way reveal that the origin of the PC that loged into it was from the US...is that correct?

If so, I suppose I could get a UK proxy and then log into the UK VPN with a UK private proxy?

The real problem here is that the IP coming from the VPN company are all the same (meaning all other users doing this would also be logging in from the same IPs off the VPN)...is this right? If so it could get my account banned. I cash out every month except for what I need in bankroll, but it still would limit my production as I would have to continuously get new partners for legit accounts on those sites.

I could not find a private VPN company that had a unique and static IP address for each account/user.

Any suggestions???

Ok, just did some more research....apparently many of the IPs from VPN services have already been blocked by the poker sites. Might be too risky.

What about setting up my own personal VPN on a cloud server???? I still think the costs would get astronomical plus I would not be able to get the number and control over IPs that I would need tailored to each account..any thoughts?

You could use openvpn (a free opensource vpn software) on a linux vps, and alloacte a static IP to a nominated user logon without requiring a real lot of resources to get around the blacklisted commercial vpn providers.

Or go the windows VPS route running your bots directly without the need of you running your own VM infrastructure

My preference would be the windows vps way, more expensive, but much more flexiible (and simpler)

There wouldnt be any way your poker sites could see your US ip with either option
