    I followed the instructions in the documentation yet still the VM says I have no internet connection? How do I fix this? I'm using Mullvad bt.

    Update: I found the solution apparently if you download the version from the App Store it doesn't have the capability to use the host VPN. The standard edition downloaded from the parallels main site has this feature however.

    Hello @SunoM
    Indeed, the App Store edition cannot share Mac VPN connection with virtual machine.
    You can view the difference between App Store edition and Standard edition here.
