VPN works on host, doesnt hide ip in VM

[shadowjax]

Hello all,
I have the latest Kali VM (as of 11-16-2020). I have Nord VPN running on my host (windows 10). When I go to whatsmyip with firefox while on the host, everything is fine. The site shows that mi ip is the same as the VPN is connected to.
However when I go to the site while in firefox inside the kali VM, it shows my true ip address. Im connected to the network through bridged mode. What can I do to make my VM run through the vpn connection? DO I just need to install nord on the VM? Thank you in advance!

Im connected to the network through bridged mode.

Bridged acts before the host network stack, or at least very early in the stack, as best I understand. See Virtualbox Networks: In Pictures: Bridged Adapter. Bridged acts like an unmanaged switch, and if two computers are attached to a switch, the one sees everything whereas the other can be filtered.

You could try NAT, that might (if I remember correctly) allow the guest to use the VPN.

Or install the VPN inside the guest too.
