Sharing VPN between original Win and virtual machines

[sakdnf]

Hello

I am using VPN internet on base machine (Windows 10) and two virtual machines (Windows 8.1) are installed on base Windows too. But the virtual machines are not get VPN from base Windows. How can I share VPN between base Windows and virtual Windows? I hope to explain the issue obviously.

Regards, M.

The only way is to set the VM to use NAT instead of bridged networking.

I did it and click OK, but when I came back to Virtual Network Editor, I saw it was not done and it is set to Bridge. Do I must do something more?

You need to set the Network Adapter in VM Settings to NAT – no need to do anything in Virtual Network Editor.

Many VPNs cannot do this anyway - the entire point of a VPN is funneling all network traffic from a network adapter through an encrypted tunnel... and many VPNs will disconnect any other networks connecting to the PC while they are active.

When a VM is set to NAT mode, the traffic from VM will look just like traffic from any random Windows program (VMWare itself acts as a router).
