Hello, everyone.
Could someone please help me get my guest OS to make a VPN connection, without my host OS being connected to a VPN, using VirtualBox?
Technically, I haven't been able to get the guest OS connected to the VPN, even when the host OS is connected to the VPN, but I would really like it for the guest OS to be connected to it, without the host OS also being connected to it; I want the host OS to just be connected to the Internet, without any VPN stuff involved.
I'm using network-manager-gnome, network-manager-gnome-pptp and network-manager-pptp for making VPN connections.
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
P.S.
Both my guest and host operating systems are Debian stable/stretch, with Virtualbox (5.1.28) from stretch-backports.

Re: How to make VPN within guest work, without VPN in host?
What kind of network connection have you configured between the guest and the host in VirtualBox ?
If you selected the NAT mode, IIRC it handles only TCP, UDP and ICMP protocols. But PPTP uses the GRE protocol.
