Capture All VM Traffic

Hello everyone,

 

Description:

I want the guest VM to have all of its network traffic go through the host on a virtualized-hardware level. Basically, I want to force the network adapter on the guest to point at the host, which will thus act as a man-in-the-middle forwarding all traffic to the router which it is connected to directly by ethernet, and forwarding the received responses to the guest. However, while it does this, I want to be able to actually see the traffic. So that will probably involve me creating some certificate to put on the guest to allow it to actually see the traffic in its unecrypted state.

 

How do I go about doing this?

 

Rationale/Why-this-way:

I want to run a couple programs and see all of their traffic, but they appear to ignore Windows 10 system proxy.

 

Setup:
I have a Windows 10 machine here with enough hardware to run any VM. I can run any Linux, and even have Windows 7. I don't care which, I just need to get this host-as-hardware-proxy setup.

 

Please ask questions if I forgot something or you need to know it in order to give advice.

Thanks in advance!

Spoiler

Q: Do I have a virus?!
A: If you didn't click a sketchy email, haven't left your computer physically open to attack, haven't downloaded anything sketchy/free, know that your software hasn't been exploited in a new hack, then the answer is: probably not.

 

Q: What email/VPN should I use?
A: Proton mail and VPN are the best for email and VPNs respectively. (They're free in a good way)

 

Q: How can I stay anonymous on the (deep/dark) webzz???....

A: By learning how to de-anonymize everyone else; if you can do that, then you know what to do for yourself.

 

Q: What Linux distro is best for x y z?

A: Lubuntu for things with little processing power, Ubuntu for normal PCs, and if you need to do anything else then it's best if you do the research yourself.

 

Q: Why is my Linux giving me x y z error?

A: Have you not googled it? Are you sure StackOverflow doesn't have an answer? Does the error tell you what's wrong? If the answer is no to all of those, message me.
