I purchased a VPN plan that supports multiple simultaneous connections. However, only devices 1 through 5 are assigned to the VPN, leaving computers 6 to 10 unconnected. I’m looking for an affordable alternative instead of switching VPN providers. I don’t have a router, and my goal is to run ten computers across various locations using VPN IPs from PCs 1–5, with each device getting a unique IP address. All machines are on the same local network. Can you suggest a way to route connections from PC 1 to 6, PC 2 to 7, and so on?

Your setup isn’t fully defined. Are the computers desktop units connected via Ethernet? If yes, you could use a switch from one desktop with a VPN connection, routing all other PCs through it. This might put stress on the main machine—opt for a more powerful device or one less frequently used.

Craft Computing offers a guide for securing your entire network via VPN. I set it up using a Raspberry Pi B+.

It’s not possible to interact with the system physically since most of the devices are virtual. The initial ones run Windows 10, while the later ones use Windows 7. The host is linked through a router.

I'm not very experienced with VM solutions. My only advice is to check if you can establish a virtual Ethernet link between PCs, as shown in the attached image. If that works, passing regular traffic through the VPN devices should become straightforward.

because there are many VMs, you usually run a VPN on the host, allowing all VMs to operate via that connection. Alternatively, direct the VMs through a virtual router.

They mentioned using five distinct sites, meaning VPN and router interference won't help.

You should purchase another VPN service or look for one with more capacity. The maximum allowed is set by the provider, and you can't simply ignore it.

It’s evident you’re unsure about the request. What you’re aiming for is connecting clients to your internal network via your ISP, with all browsing routed through a VPN connection. This setup is straightforward—you could host a VPN server or assign a public IP on your ISP, giving subnets internally without local access. A separate router would be better, and the third-party VPN could act as the internet gateway for the internal network. Be aware, this poses a notable risk and may not align with your VPN terms of service.
