VPN Guest support PPTP etc — at Initial Version

Reported by: hanasaki Owned by:
Component: network Version: VirtualBox 2.1.0
Keywords: vpn pptp gre Cc:
Guest type: Linux Host type: Windows

Description

Please support PPTP and other vpn's in the client. looking for options like

  1. host is not on vpn - guest (windows/linux) can open its own vpn to a server while on a NAT or Host interface networking (gets its own IP)
  2. host is on vpn - guest automatically uses the vpn the host is on
    • this works in vmware

A big business driver for this is the case where I have developers that are remote and need to access the internal network from a "canned" "turnkey" development environment provide by an virtual machine image (windows and linux are in use - ie: would be the guest) generally on a windows host however linux hosts are possible.

  • not really sure if this should be a defect or enhancement. In either case it is desirable and also shows up in:

  • note the manual - section 6 - says that the GRE will not work on a NAT interface... It also does not work on host interface networking (which would be a work around for now...) NAT is needed because there are times the remote folks are using a wireless PHONE card which will only provide a single IP via dhcp.
