Virtualization on Windows

This page will guide you on how to install the VirtualBox virtualization tool on Windows and how to create a Virtual Machine running Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS.

Last updated 9 months ago

Some operators opt not to use virtualization and instead choose dedicated hardware such as the Anyone Router, a standalone device, a Virtual Private Server (VPS), or an arm64 microcontroller like a Raspberry Pi.

In such cases, the anon binary can be installed directly on the operating system without virtualization by installing Debian or Ubuntu and setting up the Anon package with bash.

Prepare Installation files for the VM

Download Ubuntu Server from the official Ubuntu website by following the link below. On the website, click the "Download" button to retrieve the file named "ubuntu-<version>-live-server-amd64.iso".

1. Download VirtualBox

Download VirtualBox from the official website: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads. Select the package that matches your operating system. VirtualBox is compatible with Windows, macOS (Intel only), and Linux.

The Operating System must have Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2019 installed and Virtualization enabled in BIOS

2. Install VirtualBox

Execute the installer and adhere to the on-screen prompts to install VirtualBox on your computer. The installation steps may differ based on your operating system, but it's typically a straightforward process. Ensure you read and agree to the license agreement as part of the installation procedure.

3. Launch VirtualBox

Once the installation is finished, open VirtualBox. The VirtualBox Manager window, the primary interface for managing your virtual machines, should appear.

3. Create a New Virtual Machine

In the VirtualBox Manager window, click on 'New' to initiate the creation of a new virtual machine.

4. Configure the Virtual Machine:

a. Provide a preferred name for your virtual machine b. Browse and select the ISO image downloaded in preparation c. Check the box for 'Skip Unattended Installation' d. Allocate Memory (RAM); a minimum of 2 GB is sufficient e. Allocate processors (CPU); a minimum of 2 CPU is sufficient f. Choose disk size; a minimum of 15GB is sufficient g. Press 'Finish' when all changes have been made

5. Edit the Network Adapter for the Virtual Machine:

a. Right-click the Virtual Machine, select 'Settings', and go to the 'Network' tab. b. Change 'Attached to:' to 'Bridged Adapter.'

Depending if you want your VM to use Wireless or wired Ethernet Connection, change 'Name' to the adapter of your choice and keep in mind that this name may vary depending on your hardware.

6. Detachable Start

Click the small arrow next to 'Start' and choose 'Detachable Start'. This allows you to close the console window later on.

Next step
