He Guys,
Ive been stuck on this for a while now. I'm creating a VM both host and guest in Windows 10 Pro.
I'm installing al the programs I want without a problem on the guest. But as soon as I install a NordVPN or a socks5 proxy app called Socksify, my guests internet disconnects and Ive been troubleshooting like crazy but cant find the solution. This even happens when I install the proxy program on my host. As soon as I uninstall those apps, the internet connection returns on my host.
My network is NAT with a IntelPro/1000 MT Desktop adapter, cable connected.
Do you guys have any suggestions?

Re: Losing internet connection after Socks program or VPN
To disconnect would be normal in my experience. A new networking layer is being added over the existing network API - so any apps currently using the old API must be disconnected.TheVMNoob wrote:But as soon as I install a NordVPN or a socks5 proxy app called Socksify, my guests internet disconnects
I would have thought reconnection is possible, though in Linux it's possible that the network interface name changes, e.g. eth0 to wg0 depending on the exact nature of the VPN. This may affect some apps - I'm not a Linux user so I can't say much of that.
Btw VirtualBox simply provides a virtual NIC, it doesn't implement its own TCP/IP stack.
Speaking of Linux. I don't seem much relevance for this question in "Windows Hosts". Moving it to "Linux Guests".

Looks like this should be in Windows Guests, and I deleted your duplicate.TheVMNoob wrote:I'm creating a VM both host and guest in Windows 10 Pro

Hmm. Why did I think this was a Linux guest? Perhaps the mention of socksify, the top Google hit says that's a Linux script.
