I would like to know if it is possible to link the internet from a friend's computer to my desktop using the wrd protocol or an radmin protocol and using it as my own internet. I ask, because I run into firewall issues all the time and when I login to my friend's pc using wrd from my virtual box the internet works perfect, but on my own network I am having issues accessing different sites etc. Is there a way for me to link my friend's web connection to my desktop without having to use his screen and use the web as if it were my own ? Kind of a internet forwarding ?

What is the link with Virtualbox here?

I'm assuming here you're not actually using Virtualbox to log in remotely to your friend's PC using Windows Remote Desktop? Because Virtualbox doesn't have a way to remote into someone else's PC with remote desktop, That would be your Windows OS doing that. I'm thinking you didn't mean "virtual box" but your OS's remote desktop connection client.

It sounds like you want to use Virtualbox to get access to your friend's internet without using your friend's screen. Yes you can do that. You install Virtualbox on your friend's PC and install an OS as a guest on your friend's PC through his Virtualbox installation. So your friend would be running two OS's on his computer at the same time, one as the host which he boots into, and the other as the guest OS you remote into. His computer would have to be powered up whenever you wanted to use the internet, of course, and his computer would have to be strong enough to handle the extra load. If you want to have the guest running regardless of whether your friend is logged in or not, you should run the guest as a service after getting things all set up. (See viewtopic.php?f=6&t=4762 - any questions about using that service goes on that thread.)

You would not install Virtualbox on your PC. You continue to use your remote desktop connection client to get into your friend's guest. If you set up the guest with a Bridged network configuration in the Virtualbox settings, then your guest appears on the same network as your friend's PC, as if your friend is running two computers on his network, and whatever network configurations you arranged to remote into your friend's OS you re-arrange to point to the new guest's IP address and you should be good.
