I have a Windows VM that can has an internet connection that acts as a tunnel into a VPN, and this VM is supposed to share this internet connection with the host. This works perfectly in principle: On that Windows VM, I have a network interface named
Outbound
which represents the VPN connection, and an interface named Gateway
which represents the connection that is shared with the host. I use Windows Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) to provide routing to the Gateway
interface via Outbound
. For reasons unknown to me, however, this sometimes just breaks and the only way to get it running again is to simply disable ICS on the Outbound
interface and re-enable it. Doing this through the UI every time became annoying, so I researched how to do it programmatically. There is [a great superuser answer](https://superuser.com/a/649183/222330) which provides _almost_ all the details you need, but not quite.
Do you want to know more?
