Multiple Virtual Machines

I am looking to create multiple virtual machines. These will be used for social media/google accounts/ ebay/amazon/ etc. Probably in the neighborhood of 500 vm's.
I'm not a geek so these may be some basic questions:

Is this reasonable and what should I remember when creating them in terms of allocating memory? I only need them to log in to various accounts, not do actual work while running them.
Should I use a vpn service or proxies..another cheaper option?
What you recommend for OS for that many?
Organization once they've been created ?
Miscellaneous advice?

Thanks!

Take a look at, "VMware Workstation 14 Pro"


The software costs $250.00. Below are the operating systems that it supports. Yes, you will need proxies. And, there is an extremely steep learning curve.

Hey thanks...I appreciate it. I have virtualbox. Are you suggesting vmware because it's easier to clone? Also, for the extremely steep learning curve, how so? I've created a few ubuntu vm's. Doesn't seem too hard except the organization of many accounts. Do you mean handling all the separate vm's? Appreciate it

In terms of being easier to clone, if there is a VM that is easier to clone, I'd like to see it. VMware features this:

Clones for Rapid Duplication

Save time and effort and ensure an exact duplicate when repeatedly creating the same VM setup. Use “Linked Clones” to quickly duplicate a VM while significantly reducing physical disk space. Use “Full Clones” to create fully isolated duplicates that can be shared with others.

Additionally, VMWare has more options than VirtualBox in terms of operating systems and ease of use... unless VB has upgraded; its been 2.5 years since I used VB.

That stated, once you learn VMWare, it's a piece of cake. Duly note, I no longer use it on a daily basis, as my VAs now handle those tasks.

However, I went through the process of setting it up and it gave me some head scratching moments.

Unless you are the geeky type, the learning curve for VMWare will probably be steep.

Are you using VMs to manage social media, build backlinks, open accounts, etc?

You need multiple IPs with a clean slate, not necessarily VMs.

Thanks! I actually found setting up vm's to be pretty easy with virtual box once I ironed out a couple hiccups. Do you remember what you had trouble with that you say the learning curve was steep? I just followed youtube setups lol.

As far as using vm's in addition to proxies, I want to avoid canvas fingerprinting. I don't want the sites to be able to id my system build and link the accounts. If I have to, I will buy a new desktop for this purpose alone if it eats up too much memory. That's one of the reasons I'm asking about setting up such a high number. Thanks!!

You never stated what you're using VMs for.

If it's for backlink buildinng, managing social media accounts and things of that nature, you don't need VMs with all of the available solutions.

I would recommend SSDs, regular hard drives are pretty slow for virtual machines.

If you're worried about fingerprints, why stick to one OS? Mix them up.

Dedicated server and VirtualBox then setup proxy in these VM's

Thought I mentioned it..sorry, I'll be using them for setting up many amazon (buyer & seller) , fb, & instagram accts and other social media. I've heard amazon tracks the system builds.

What i currently have is SSD but only 8 gb ram.

I have window & ubuntu so far and prob going to try out qubes & others to see if I like them. For the browsers I'll use chrome & firefox.
Obviously I'm new at setting up multiple vm's and have only played around with it. So any advice is helpful.

Honestly, for social media management, (like bartosimpsonio stated) there are better solutions than using VMs.

There are numerous IMATs (Internet Marketing Automation Tools) such as: AutoFillMagic, IMACRO, Zennoposter, BuzzBundle, etc.) designed out the box to automate the account creation/login process, as well as posting content, likes, follows, and other wise managing multiple SM accounts

Of course, you will need proxies, but such IMATs are a better solution than VMs, IMHO.

Why not use something like multilogin app with their new browser that's in beta? I can't even imagine trying to handle that many vms. I have 6 and it can be a pia.

One of the main things I'm concerned about is amazon buyer accounts and using it to make reviews. I don't want the reviews taken down. Since I've heard Amazon does canvas fingerprinting, I'd rather play the safest route. Do you guys think these other options are safe enough to avoid that? Thanks! yeah, I would rather not have to handle that many vm's is possible

good day everyone, i am looking for the same, i need to run at least 50 virtual machines, for mining purposes (https://cryptotabbrowser.com/11196109) can anyone suggest me the best and cheapest way, i really appreciate any support
