host needs to have vpn, guest needs to have its own vpn

[kermitfrog]

Hi
is this possible?
laptop: linux mint connected to my home internet via ethernet cable. running vpn desktop app.
in virtualbox: linux mint, this linux mint sees the ip address of the vpn, not my true ip. my research indicates I will need something called NAT which I will have to figure out later. but here is the thing: within the virtualbox linux mint, I want to run the vpn desktop app. but I will connect to a different location. so let's say in the laptop I am connected to chicago, in virtualbox I am connected to texas. if I go to whatismyipaddress (or any other website) in the virtualbox linux mint, that website should see the texas ip, not chicago, not my true ip.

in short, can I run 2 vpn apps like this, or they will conflict with each other? is the OS running in virtualbox truly independent, or it will need some resources from the host device/os?

A VM is just another PC, so anything you can do in a PC, you can do in... a PC.

NAT connects through the host's network stack, so the NAT-connected VM would go through the host's VPN.

Bridged connects outside the host's network stack, so the Bridged-connected VM might have a chance to use its own VPN, depending on how strongly the host VPN rules the host's network connection.
