Global Protect VPN blocks guest OS traffic

Panagiss — Wed, 19 Feb 2025 19:03:58 GMT

Hello all,

Using VirtualBox 7 and I assumed that by having NAT network set on my Guest OS that it would work straightforward and I would be able to access services from the VPN that is running on my host OS (win11).

First of all the problem happens when VPN is On. When disabled everything works normal. The below remarks are for when the VPN is enabled:

When Guest network: NAT ==> No connection coming back. Nothing works. Pinging has 100% packet loss.
When Guest network: Bridged ==> Internet traffic works! But internal network services NO.

Any ideas here?

So you would like to run GlobalProtect in a VM.

Connect remotely to that VM and then access servies running inside host machine?
Why not run GlobalProtect directly on host?

I don't know if Global protect has a client for the Guest OS.
No I don't want to run GP inside a VM but rather run the GP in my host OS (win11) and when I spin up some VMs (Virtualbox), they would benefit from the VPN on the host OS and have access to VPN services and networks.
