I've got a special situation where I'm unable to connect to a VPN from my Linux host, but can connect from my Windows 7 guest. The reason has to do with the appliance (Sonicwall), and its configuration (that I don't have access to). In a perfect world, I could use NetExtender, but since the appliance isn't accepting SSL-VPN connections, it's not an option.
So, i was wondering if it would be easy to somehow use the guest's VPN connection from the host. To be clear, I'd like to use my Linux terminal and somehow access the VPN that has an established connection on a Windows 7 guest.
On host, use guest's VPN?

Re: On host, use guest's VPN?
VPN is designed to keep you from doing this and unless you have the other end allow it I don't see it working for you.
