Share internet (VPN) Hosted ---> Host

Post by cxmjg »

Hi, thanks for your help.

I encounter the following problem:

I have a VM with windows 7 on a computer also running Windows 7, and the VM have a connection to a Cisco VPN , I want to share the VPN with the host computer, so that it retains the normal internet and also have VPN access

Hosted VM with Cisco VPN ------Share-----> Host computer with normal internet = Host computer with Cisco VPN + Normal internet



PD: if this is not possible , I want to know if it is possible to share the VPN from the VM by wifi.

I hope you understand , and sorry for my English

Of course, thanks

I know some network guru will drop on to say how to do that or if it can be done, but one way to solve this problem is to take Virtualbox out of the equation and solve as if you had two side-by-side PCs and you wanted to do this project. To the network, that's essentially what you have. Figure out how to pass the VPN from one PC to another, then do that same setup to your guest and host, and you're golden.

By definition the VPN is "P"rivate and not shareable. However it may be possible if ( and I say if because it is not easy ) you can convince the top level connection to allow it.

Note: this really has nothing to do with VirtualBox as Scott pointed out.
