Virtualbox guest as a firewall for lUbuntu host
Using virtualbox, I am trying to use Alpine linux (guest) as a firewall for my lubuntu (host). My physical network card (NIC) is eth0.
ISP WAN -> Alpine linux (guest) -> lubuntu (host) LAN
I am trying to get the ip from my ISP DHCP server but I had no success. I know that in virtualbox I have to use bridged adapter in eth0.
But in AlpineLinux (guest) do I have to create a vlan? Thats where I get confused.
ISP WAN -> DHCP -> Alpine linux (guest)
I was able to do this with two PCs like this:
ISP WAN --> Alpine linux firewall (PC1) --> Lubuntu LAN (PC2)
But now I am trying to do it with just one PC using virtualbox like this:
ISP WAN --> Alpine linux firewall (PC1) (Guest) --> Lubuntu LAN (PC1) (Host)

rpdump
rpdump(1) General Commands Manual rpdump(1)
NAME
rpdump - alpine remote data utility
SYNTAX
rpdump [ -f ] -l Local_file -r Remote_folder
DESCRIPTION
Rpdump may be used to copy the actual data from remote Alpine configuration files or address books into a local file. It is intended to be
used by system administrators. Regular users should normally use the facilities provided within Alpine.
Local_file will normally be a local temporary file. Remote_folder is the IMAP folder being used as a remote Alpine configuration (with the
help of Alpine's -P, -p, and -x commands or PINECONF, PINERC, and PINERCEX environment variables) or remote Alpine address book folder. A
copy of the data from Remote_folder will be copied to Local_file.
-f Force the dump even if the remote folder is in an unrecognized format.
-l Local_file The file on this system that is to be copied to.
-r Remote_folder A remote folder name to be copied from. See the Alpine documentation for the syntax of a remote folder name. One
example is
{my.imap.server}remote_pinerc.
DIAGNOSTICS
Exit status is zero if all goes well, -1 otherwise.
