Create Loopback and assign local addresses on Windows 8
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I'm usually on OSX where I often add additional IP addresses to lo0 interface to simplify ssh tunnelling to various services on different machines to different local addresses:
# Tunnel mysql connections:
sudo ifconfig lo0 alias 172.16.4.142
ssh -L172.16.4.142:3306:localhost:3306 my_mysql_server_dev
sudo ifconfig lo0 alias 172.16.4.121
ssh -L172.16.4.121:3306:localhost:3306 my_mysql_server_test
# I can now locally connect to the remote mysql servers using
mysql -H 172.16.4.142
mysql -H 172.16.4.121
On Windows 8 how do I achieve this?
I understand I need to install the loopback adapter driver like so:
Got Windows Driver Kit 8.1 Update 1 and ran the following commands:
C:Program Files (x86)Windows Kits8.1Toolsx64devcon.exe" -r install %WINDIR%InfNetloop.inf *MSLOOP
powershell
$nic = Get-WmiObject Win32_NetworkAdapter -Filter "Name='Microsoft KM-TEST Loopback Adapter'"
What now? Can anyone help me with the next steps? What I want to do is configure the interface with a bunch of local IPv4 addresses
The machine I'm running is a virtualbox image.
Once I have the local interface installed and a bunch of ip addresses assigned I'll configure the tunnelling in putty.
I tried following this guide, but it seems outdated/not right for Windows 8.

You could probably solve this withnetsh, although Microsoft doesn’t endorse it anymore.

I don't know if my way will work but you can just try to use the 127.0.0.0/24 network for this. Windows will resolve all addresses within the 127.0.0.0/24 network to the local loopback device.
I think that this is easier then messing around with custom drivers.
