Sharing guest VPN resources to host

[Vincenzo Caselli]

Hi,

I am new to QEMU/KVM and would like to have some info before trying to switch from VirtualBox, for a particular use case.

Currently, I have a VirtualBox image running Windows 10 with a custom VPN installed on it, that can work only in that specific guest image.

In order to share the guest VPN URLs with the Linux host I have found a workaround on VirtualBox, consisting of creating two networks (NAT and Host-only), as described here

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53573337/how-to-share-guest-vms-vpn-connection-with-host

This is indeed working, but:

• the VirtualBox Windows 10 guest runs really slow
• the entire workaround, although working, is somehow complicated

I am thinking to convert this guest image into a QEMU/KVM image, at least hoping to improve performances.

Regarding the specific problem on sharing guest vpn resources with the host, what can be done with QEMU/KVM ?

Can this sharing be more direct?

Thank you very much

Vincenzo
