Does Windows not alias all 127.0.0.x to loopback by default? I needed multiple distinct IP addresses for loopback at my last job and while I had to manually alias them with ifconfig on MacOS, I found Fedora had them all aliased by default. Assuming all you need is a distinct IP that goes back to your machine I believe you should be fine without any 3rd party software, but I never set it up on Windows so I could certainly be mistaken.

- king_geedorah 3y agoI see. I appreciate the information.
