SomebodyInGNV Posted December 9, 2021 CID Share Posted December 9, 2021 Hello. My desktop has both Ethernet and WiFi connections. I'd like to stay connected to Ethernet but test WiFi, which is routed through a different modem and ISP. Is there any way to define which network connection to test? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA3LE Posted December 10, 2021 CID Share Posted December 10, 2021 You could setup a virtualized environment. Using VirtualBox or Parallels install a virtual machine and during creation tell it to use the network adapter for the connection you'd like to test. Using a free Windows 10 ISO or Ubuntu ISO. (I see you're using Windows) You could also try ForceBindIP or something similar that would give you control over the network interface or IP address for specific applications. Then set it up so that your test browser (the one running TestMy.net) is using the IP or interface you'd like to test. If you need your main browser to be on your other network I'd suggest installing FireFox on the side and dedicate it to the purpose of testing in the background. If you use this method please let me know how this works out for you, I haven't tried it. I did take the time to scan the downloadable exe using various online virus scanning tools like Kapersky (here's the hash) all came back clean.
