[QUOTE="simmerskool, post: 1004597, member: 61091"] I just enabled Windows Sandbox on win10 pro, I also read an ms article linked to me by oldschool. I did not see the Chinese noted above. Question: to me so far, the isolation seems strong, but I'm [U][B]not[/B][/U] finding folks suggesting to surf the internet from the sandbox, and I'm wondering, why? unless I'm missing something really obvious. :unsure: For the past 3 days, I read email from sandbox, clicked links, and did most things online from the sandbox, thinking the real system is isolated. If I enable the vpn on win10, the browser in the sandbox shows it is also going thru the vpn. Some years ago, I ran VMware workstation, and I'm somewhat familiar with comodo firewall (cruelsister settings for containment), & shadow defender, etc. If I'm surfing in the sandbox, isn't win sandbox providing similar protection, or perhaps an added layer of security??

Any insights or further concerns would be appreciated. additional insight perhaps or correction: user can do some tweaks to the sandbox thru a configuration file with info found I think at ms, but I don't have the link right now.
