    I have a mac mini 2010 and have a Windows 7 VM setup using Parallels 9. I'm trying to figure out how to keep the mac mini host / OSX instance connecting to the internet without using a VPN. And want to have the VM / Windows 7 always connect using my VPN. I looked at some of the bridge options in networking but couldn't figure out how to set it up.

    Mac Mini 2010 running Mavericks 10.9.4

    Parallels 9.0.24237

    VM is Windows 7 64 bit

    I use vyprvpn as my vpn provider but would be willing to switch if there is a better option.

    Any help / guidance would be appreciated. And I'm new to the forum, so please let me know if any additional info would help.

    Hello,

    Just keep VM network in Shared mode (go to VM Configuration: http://kb.parallels.com/en/117287 > Hardware > Network > Type) and install VPN client on the Windows side.
