Purpose

This article documents how to enable machines operating within the Virtual Lab isolated network to access the internet.

Solution

The function documented in this KB enables the virtual lab proxy appliance to act as an internet proxy. This proxy function only passes web browser traffic. This will not allow for any other type of traffic (e.g. ICMP, FTP, or SSH) to leave the isolated environment.

Enable Proxy Appliance as Internet Proxy

  1. Edit the Virtual Lab.
  2. On the Proxy tab, select the Allow proxy appliance to act as internet proxy for virtual machines in this lab check box.
  3. In the Port field, specify a port for HTTP traffic. By default, port 8080 is used. 
  4. In the Production proxy field, you can optionally specify an IP address or a fully qualified domain name of an internet-facing proxy server that VMs must use to access the internet.
Internet Proxy Setting

Configure Internet Proxy in Windows

  1. After a VM has been started using this Virtual Lab, you must adjust the proxy settings to enable internet access.
  2. To do this, open Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings > Proxy server and specify the IP address of the proxy appliance on the isolated network and port number.
Windows Internet Options

Configure Internet Proxy in Linux

  1. After a VM has been started using the Virtual Lab, you must adjust the proxy settings to enable internet access.
  2. Add http_proxy environment variable with the export command:
export http_proxy=<gateway_ip>:8080
