The company I work for recently implemented VMware View. I work from home on a regular basis and would like to access my virtual desktop when working from home. My company currently has no plans to setup a View Security Server, so the only way to connect to the View Connection Server remotely is by first establishing a VPN connection to the company network.

I would prefer not to run the VPN client directly on my home PC. Instead, I would like to create a thin client inside a Virtualbox VM and use that thin client to access the VPN and the View Connection Server.

Before I dive in, I have a few questions:

1. Is there an alternative setup that I might be overlooking?
2. What is the best thin client OS to use for the Virtualbox VM? I'm using the Cisco VPN Client which claims to work on Linux.

Your main question and considerations are only related to VPN, VMware and how to connect to them. You simply want to use Virtualbox as a second computer, but you're actually not doing anything with Virtualbox itself.
I am afraid this is way out of scope of this forum, and your best bet would be to seek support in a VMware & networking forum, as you won't get much help here.
