<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Jim <br></div><div> I recommend the network bridge so all traffic will go direct to the NIC with it's own IP, but I openVPN quite often using both bridge and NAT I use nat when not at home and have to to use a single wifi on the host</div><div>the only difference is in nat the host will provide a internal ip which is nice for internal routing if needed.</div><div>do you have any vpn logs?</div><div>also Lubuntu does not use Gnome network manager I will email if I find the correct tool we just did one at the installfest last month sudo apt-get install network-manager-openvpn-gnome will fail due to wrong network manager gui.</div><div>also test it from the cli it should work there either way Todd<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Mon, Sep 17, 2018 at 10:57 PM Jim <<a href="mailto:jim.nantz15@comcast.net">jim.nantz15@comcast.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I decided to try a virtual machine for bittorrent. The host machine <br>
runs kubuntu 14.04 with 4GB RAM. I've installed virtualbox 5.2.18. The <br>
virtual machine is running lubuntu 18 and has 1GB RAM. The problem is <br>
with the vpn. I can't get openvpn or pptp to work. I configured them <br>
using the same instructions I did on the host machine. When I try to <br>
start a VPN connction(openvpn or pptp) on the guest machine, the icon <br>
appears to show it's trying to connect, then it just stops without <br>
offering any error message. In Virtualbox's settings for the guest <br>
machine under network, I chose attached to NAT.<br>
<br>
Any ideas what I should do different?<br>
<br>
thanks<br>
