Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

• There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.

Connect to your Mac's localhost from within a VMWare virtual machine.

- Boot up VMware and fire up your VM (i'm using Windows 7)
- Make sure that the VM is using NAT
- Fire up the command prompt in Windows and type "ipconfig". IN the resulting text look for your IPv4 address. It will be something like 192.168.xxx.xxx
- Now go to your browser in your VM and type that ip address into the url bar but change the last set of digits to be 2 (or 1).
- so as an example if your ip was found to be 192.168.213.200 change it to be 192.168.213.2
- Assuming that your localhost is running on your mac you should get your localhost in your VM browser.
- If you need to add a non standard port number on the end like 8090 go ahead and do so.
