I recently tested Security Kiss Tunnel in VMware Player. Security Kiss Tunnel VPN works really great in the guest Windows XP system.
VMware Player is a freeware virtualization software package from VMware, Inc. (a company which was formerly a division of and whose majority shareholder remains EMC Corporation). VMware Player can run virtual appliances. VMware Player can also create virtual machines since version 3.0. It uses the same virtualization core as VMware Workstation, a similar program with more features, and not free of charge. VMware Player is available without restriction for personal non-commercial use.
I have Windows 7 Ultimate installed on my machine. RAM installed on my machine is 2GB. The screenshot shows Security VPN has been connected successfully in VMware Player. Please click the image to see it in full size.
The advantages of using Security Kiss in VMware Player guest operating system are:
Your IP will be changed to the VPN server IP in the guest operating system after tunnel connected.
You host system IP is still the IP provided by your ISP. You can browse local websites in your host operating system. The speed of loading a local webpage is faster without going through an overseas VPN server.
Under the condition you need a VPN, use your guest system to browse the web.
You can use the guest operating system to run OpenVPN and other applications
Requirements of Running Windows XP in VMware Player:
Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7 as the host operating system
Minimum 1 GB RAM
Minimum 4 GB Free Hard Disk Space
Windows XP backup either CD or ISO file
You should have the experience of installing Windows operating system before.
If you have the experience of installing Windows operating system, you can easily setup and install Windows XP in VMware Player. When you have installed the guest system, open the Internet Explorer in it and check if you can browse a website. If everything done well, you can then visit
www.securitykiss.com, download and install Security Kiss in the guest system.
