VPN sharing to Windows 11 ARM not possible?

Hi everybody,
I am trying to share an established VPN connection from my Mac M2 to parallels Windows 11 ARM guest.
An old KB post suggests that this should be working by simply using the shared network option:

This however does NOT work for me :( Any ideas? I have seen a lot of threads where this is mentioned but found no answer.
Is it simply not possible? And why is it not possible - maybe in the future?
Thansk!

Hi,
I had a support session with the Parallels team which was very helpful. In the end the solution was to install the parallels version from the website not the apple app store. After that all VPN sessions worked fine.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Patrick
 
Thanks for the info. This hasn't worked for me. I still cannot access web sites via the VPN from my Windows instance :-(

I'll raise another ticket with my details
 
It appears to have started working for me now. I locked the Mac Book and came back a few hours later and, hey presto, it was using the VPN from Windows. Not sure what has changed - I've changed no settings.
 
Hello I'm also experiencing similar issues

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback.

Kindly follow the steps below:

1. On Macos (host), Open Terminal (Applications > Utilities > Terminal) and execute the following command

sudo tcpdump -i all -w net-host.pcap

(You will be prompted to input your password)

2. On the virtual machine (Windows10), Open command prompt as administrator and execute the command below:

cd c:\

pktmon start -c --pkt-size 0

3. Reproduce the issue by establishing the VPN connection on the host.

4. On Macos, Open Terminal, on the same window on which the command on step 1 was executed, press Ctrl+C to terminate tcpdump to stop recording.

5. Go to Finder -> "Go" (on the menubar) -> "Home" and locate the file net-host.pcap and upload the resulting file net-host.pcap on a cloud link

6. On the virtual machine (Windows10), Open the same command prompt window from step 2, and type the following command to stop the recording:

pktmon stop

pktmon etl2pcap C:\PktMon.etl --out net-guest.pcap

7. Open Windows Explorer on the Windows 10 virtual machine, Go to C:\ and upload the file net-guest.pcap on a cloud link

Once the logs have been collected, please disable the ipv6 DHCP for Shared Network and check if the issue persists:

1. Shut down the Virtual Machine. Make sure that the virtual machine is shut down. If it is in a suspended state, please run it and then shut down (Actions > Shut Down).

2. Click on the Parallels Desktop icon in the Mac menu bar -> select "Preferences".

3. Go to "Network" tab -> select "Shared Network".

4. Click on ipv6 -> uncheck the "Enable ipv6 DHCP" option.

5. Shut down your virtual machine and restart Parallels Desktop.

6. Check if the issue persists.

Thanks
