How to route traffic from VM (Parallels) over an Open VPN connection on the host (OS X)
- by withakay
Scenario:
I have a Mac running Lion that is connected to an OpenVPN server
I have a Windows XP VM (running on parallels, but I don't think this is important)
I want to be able to route traffic from the XP VM via the host Mac's OpenVPN connection so that I can log on to a domain.
The remote network is 172.16.0.0/23 (255.255.254.0)
Open VPN is configured to supply address in the 10.100.101.0/24 range and sets up the routing to 172.16.0.0 using the gateway 10.100.101.1/32
My local network is 192.16.1.0/24
NOTE: I do not want to install OpenVPN into the XP virtual machine as I would have to use a passwordless key in order for OpenVPN to connect before logon.
Anyone got any ideas?
