Connect to external VPN from VM

Questions / Help
1

I need a VM to be connected to a VPN from sonicwall (Netextender) so that some code can access specific ip addresses.

However I am coming across an issue with running the netextender in the VM

root@48edde4b19ed48:/NetExtender.Linux-10.2.850.x86_64/netExtenderClientnetExtender example.com:2222 -u username-p password -d domain -T wireguard

I tried using modprobe to enable ppp but it doesn’t look like this linux instance has modprobe.

Is there a way to connect to the VPN from the VM? Any ideas are welcome.

I figured out the issue - The VMS’ linux kernels that are built here (The fly linux kernel) it doesn’t come with the ppp_generic module built. I am going to try what I need on aws as I think that maybe the cheapest option that I can use that MAY give me ggg_generic in there linux kernel.

Best regards
