Re: Fedora & VMware on a mac - using the cisco vpn connection of the host, is it possible?

Or even better, is there an easy way to either:

a) setup some sort of tunnel from my Fedora laptop and use it to run firefox, email, etc all going through the cicso vpn


b) clone the mac in its entirety, even the security bits and run it as a local VMware workstation VM (via the mac unlocker), if I really must run a stupid OS then it would be better in a VM

Hi;


I have a contract with a client and they have sent me a mac (ugh).

I thought it would be ok since I mostly spend my time at the command line but the mac OS is driving me crazy. I hate this thing more with every passing day, it's like using a preschool toy to do real work. The mac interface is the worst pain I've had to endure in a long time. Literally the only good thing I can say about it is that it's not windows. Even simple tasks like getting it to use a second monitor with the laptop lid closed take way more time than it should and usually end in frustration and a t least one reboot.

So... they will let me run VMware and I have installed Fedora 30 in a VM. However much of the content I need to access such as mail, internal company web pages, etc are all accessed via a cisco VPN and a usb key I use to log in. Is there any way for me to fire up my Fedora VM and have all of it's access just 'pass through' to the host, including using the cisco vpn?


Thanks in advance
