Abstract
Technologies are disclosed for enabling virtual private network (VPN) support in a virtualized environment. The presence or creation of a host VPN adapter on a host processing system providing a virtualized environment is detected and, in response thereto, a virtual network adapter is created in the virtualized environment. A guest operating system (OS) creates a guest VPN adapter in the virtualized environment. A software component is inserted between the guest VPN adapter and the virtual network adapter. The software component adds Ethernet frames to point-to-point protocol (PPP) packets received from the guest VPN adapter and removes Ethernet frames from packets received from the virtual network adapter.
