Route specific network traffic through vpn in virtualbox guest
- by Sander
I am running OSX with a windows server 2008 guest in Virtualbox.
My goal is to route some of the network traffic in the host through the server guest. This is because the win2008 server has a VPN connection to my workplace using a Smartcard solution which can not operate on OSX.
My current set-up is like this:
OSX (Host):
connected to the internet via en01
Win2008 (Guest):
connected to the internet using NAT (lan1 in guest)
has a SSTP VPN connection to my workplace
is connected to the guest using an Host Only Adapter vboxnet0 (LAN2 in guest)
The important part is about the host (OSX). Primarily I want all network traffic to just go through en01. However, all traffic which can only be accessed through the VPN must go through the guest and through the VPN. I have one specific FQDN which can only be accessed through the VPN (say corp.mycompany.com).
I do not know much about networking. I thought I would be able to get it to work by
bridging together LAN2 and LAN1 but this didn't seem to work

using a loopback adapter on WinXP (when I did not have win2008 yet, but this doesn't work because I can't create a PPTP connection)
And I've also read about Routing and Remote Access but I have no idea on how to use this.
Can someone help me in the right direction?
