Thanks for that - I guessed that may be the case.

Max, why would you need to use another vpn connection? Could you explain, please? Why wouldn't VMware's network bridging use the already VPN'ed network?

Hi,<br />
because when you install a client on win10 pc it will create a virtual adapter used to tunnel the encrypted data from PC: the VM in it won't be aware of that and wouldn't work anyway because tunneled data would need to be nat exempted to travel across tunnel to the other side of it.<br />

Well, you can bridge the virtual machine's network adapter to the VPN network adapter. At least in hyper-v you can do that.

I have a windows 10 PC, on which I use TunnelBear as my VPN. For sandboxing reasons, I do all my Internet for sites that I don't know in a VMware Windows 10 box. Do I need a separate VPN for the VMWare box, or does the Host PC VPN do the job for me?<br />

Thanks!

If I have an active VPN on a host windows 10 pc, do I need a VPN in a VMware box running on the same PC?

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

Virtualization

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.
