How Can I Connect to a Disabled Internet Connection Through a VPN?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on connecting a disabled internet connection on computer C through computer B, which serves as a VPN gateway. Both B and C are virtual machines, and the communication channel between them is established through the local area network (LAN). To facilitate this connection, specific rules must be configured on machine C to permit access to private IP addresses on the LAN. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the VPN connection model and the underlying communication methods involved.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of VPN connection models
  • Knowledge of virtual machine networking
  • Familiarity with local area network (LAN) configurations
  • Experience with setting up connection rules on operating systems
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to configure VPN gateways on virtual machines
  • Learn about setting up private IP address rules in operating systems
  • Explore local area network (LAN) communication protocols
  • Investigate the differences between virtual machine networking and physical networking
USEFUL FOR

Network engineers, system administrators, and IT professionals looking to establish VPN connections between virtual machines, particularly in scenarios involving disabled internet connections.

Supposing that I have 3 computers (A,B,C)

C is disabled its internet connection while A and B are not.
My computer is A and I must connect to C through B.
If B and C are both virtual machines, then I am thinking B and C share the same communication channel, right ?
Giving that this is a VPN connection model, I would like to understand the underlying communication methods being applied for B and C.

Thanks a lot.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by this. Are B and C instances of an OS running on the same computer?

If B and C are separate, and B (or your router) is your VPN gateway, simply set up some connection rules on machine C to allow connections to private IP address (on your local LAN) only.
