I have a question regarding using a VPN through a virtual machine. Right now I have virtual box installed but I can switch.
What I want to do is have a Virtual Machine setup inside my main machine that is connected to a VPN, but when I browse outside of the Virtual Machine it uses my internet, but inside of the Virtual Machine uses a VPN.
Is this possible? Is there a guide to do this somewhere?
My backup plan is to connect another computer and just have that be my VPN computer, but I would rather do it the other way. So if that is possible I would like to learn how to do it.
Thank you for any help!
Yes… Just connect your VM to a VPN and that’s it.

It works exactly like that.
A guide…? Just setup the VPN on the guest machine as you would do it on your host machine. The fact that it is a virtual machine makes no difference.
ps. Know that you can not use LAN sharing between the host and guest while using the VPN without some re-routing.
LAN sharing between the host and guest
I’m not familiar with VM’sDoes this “LAN sharing” issue mean that downloaded files on the VPN protected VM cannot be easily / quickly accessed outside of the VM?
Thanks
Edit; the rerouting you speak of - do you have a guide? Thanks
