The thing is that my workstation has very restricted internet access. It's so much limited that I can't update my Ubuntu virtual machine and also I can't install a lot of things - like nodejs or python packages.

But: each of us have a virtual CentOS server, with it's own IP, which has full access. And we can SSH to that virtual machine and install everything there.

Which doesn't fulfill my working process, cause I can't open browser from there, for example. I have only CLI, which is not enough for some of the scenarios.

So: can I link my local virtual Ubuntu to that CentOS virtual server and use it as internet provider? Which would be just awesome! ...

Thanks in advance

PS: I was thinking also to make GUI through SSH, I read some articles and saw a couple of videos. But I prefer working locally, and also - I think that using GUI over SSH would take more resources or would be very unstable.

PS2: Of course, if that is better than trying to redirect traffic from the CentOS - then I would try that

In other words, you want to use the Centos VM as a router. Search the internet for "linux router" or similar; you should find instructions.

OK, I started reading about it ...

... but the first thing I notice is that the CentOS machine has only one network interface ... so from "ip link show" I see "lo" and "eth0". And "ip route show" shows me 3 rows, but all of them for "eth0"

So ... is it going to be possible at all ? (think) ...
