Thanks Alexey... If the VBox host does NAT to the guest, isn´t NAT at the TCP level rather than Ethernet? if then, couldn´t it be possible to make the VBox host understand SOCKS5?. I see I´m not the only one in this predicament, and it´s been asked before https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=38907 would it be possible to use TranSOCKS on Linux host, to "socksify" the host VM manager? http://transocks.sourceforge.net/ or Proxychains? http://spareclockcycles.org/2010/04/15/socksify-anything/ or Dante? http://www.inet.no/dante/index.html or under windows with Freecap http://www.freecap.ru/eng/ no wait... you said ethernet level.. jmmm if someon e would create a dummy ethernet nic driver that actually forwarded tcp traffic through socks.... OMG all hail the allmighty Google... ;) http://code.google.com/p/badvpn/wiki/tun2socks "tun2socks is used to "socksify" TCP (IPv4 only) connections at the network layer. It implements a TUN virtual network interface which accepts all incoming TCP connections (regardless of destination IP), and forwards them through a SOCKS server. This allows you to forward all connections through SOCKS, without any need for application support." you´re welcome! :) now someone please port this to win32 so I can use it on my xp netbook too ;) FC ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
