A VPN connection by its very nature is point to point - it can't be shared by different PCs. Each PC would have to install its own VPN client and open its own VPN connection.

A VM counts as a different PC if it uses bridged networking. The connection should work for the VM if it uses NAT, as in that case all VM traffic goes through the host networking stack.
