How to create a fake WAN Network for Windows

  • Run ncpa.cpl
  • Right-Click on your network adapter -> Properties
  • Select IPv4 (TCP/IPV4) -> Properties
  • Set your LAN address in static mode (with mask, gateway and DNS)
  • Click on Advanced button
  • Click on the add button bellow ip address
  • Type some public ip address (like 194.12.12.2) - That real address will be no longer reachable.
  • Mask: 255.255.255.255
  • You must have ONE gateway (LAN)
  • If set some localhost entry in the past, please change it for your new fake WAN ip address
    In our case 127.0.0.1 becomes 194.12.12.2
    You have to change it in the python script arg and eventually in your host file.
