Ahead of Lockdown my company sent us details of the company vpn and RDP and I set them up without any problems on my win10 machine.
The problem is that while I'm connected to the vpn and RDP I can't access the rest of my home PC, so I end up flicking between the 2 which is annoying.
I was wondering whether I could set up a vm - virtual ox seems popular - on my win10 pc with a lightweight Linux distro - say Lubuntu - and use it purely for accessing the work VPN and RDP, in a window, on my pc, with work traffic going through the vpn, and all other traffic going through my home Internet connection.
Would lubuntu be a good choice or would people recommend something else? Ideally it'd be as lightweight as possible, and I'd write a script to have it connect automatically on starting the VM.
