Updated - Connecting to 1 Site With Separate Logins/Several IPs
-
The requirements from TPTB-
Any of our employees or external contractors should be able to login to a SINGLE specific website (not ours), with 4 respective credentials and 4 different public IP addresses, SIMULTANEOUSLY. The only thing I could come up with is the following scenario. 4 hosted remote desktop servers. Each user has 4 rdp files configured to connect to each rdp server that they can then use to connect to the single site with a different login and public IP address. Anybody have a better idea? Please forgive the crude and basic diagram.

Why do the need to go through the RDS to access the sites?

They might not, IF I can figure out a different way for one person to access the same site with 4 logins from 4 IPs, simultaneously.

4 different portable Chrome browsers with 4 different proxy servers configures?

Is this for testing purposes?

So this is all just to avoid them using porn mode? I get it but... ouch.

Okay so let's see if I understand...
Website: bobscatemporium.com
Need: 25 employees and 80 contracts all need to be able to easily visit bobscatemporium.com but they need to do so with several different sets of credentials each to appear as different users? And not need to log out in between using each one, so that they can carry on real time conversations with themselves in different "voices" on the catemporium forums?
But the ONLY thing that they need is web access, no other protocols?
Maybe just remote browsers would make more sense, and use Linux. In theory you could get this to just one server instead of four, and no RDS costs, and only pass the browser windows back to people.

No, the website can't know the traffic is coming from the same IP addresses.
-
@scottalanmiller Right. Web access only. And only to this site with 4 (currently) different logins.
-
@Dashrender I wish. This is a production scenario.

Porn mode = incognito?

Correct. Or private in Firefox. Porn mode is the universal term for individual implementations.

Someone has to.

@scottalanmiller OK. I thought that is what porn mode was. The problem with that, is it doesn't change the public IP address, and that is really the whole point of this.

How do I provide only the browsers? Also, it may be that the browser would have to be Firefox or Chrome. I would have to check that. Fortunately, it isn't IE.

I don't see what the problem here is. Just order a vpn account somewhere, nordvpn for instance, and let the users use those. Then they will all have different IP addresses and it's not going to be their own. I think most vpn account supports more than one device.
Or if you want to do this from your LAN, you'll just order the vpn account and set up 4 openvpn links in your firewall and set up some rules on which ones to route through based on the LAN IP or whatever.

Why the need for 4 separate logins per person?
One Username & Password for each of the "Brands" ?
Are the Brand items Web Apps, or desktop applications, or what?

We do this with tools like NX on Linux all the time. Don't share out an entire desktop, only the app that you need. X Windows does this natively. That it is only Firefox or Chrome doesn't really affect anything, as you'd expect to only use one anyway.

Oh, that's REALLY weird. But okay, do you need four IPs, or four PER USER? If it is only four, then it is still pretty simple, do the same thing that you were going to do with the RDS servers, have one IP each.
