| Sep 21, 2023 at 19:48 | comment | added | Philip Couling | @roaima indeed, thanks for the reminder, I've just checked back on my home WiFi... on MacOS with virtualbox 7.0.10 with Ubuntu 22.04 guest and IPV6 with bridge adapter over host WiFi works just fine. So I'm still in the dark as to whether the problem is Kali or Windows. My money is in the Kali user being the fault. | |
| Sep 21, 2023 at 19:27 | comment | added | Philip Couling | @roaima it's a funny one because the fundamental problem TomYan aludes to is one of MAC addresses with WPA, which are an OSI layer below IPv4 and IPv6. Therefore, the fact that IPv4 works suggests that you can do that (at least theoretically), and the issue is perhaps one of virtualbox implementation: IE a Windows program in this context. | |

The fundamental problem is as @TomYan described: that WiFi client devices almost always cannot bridge. (I'd have left it open but answerable only as "you can't do that") | |
| Sep 11, 2023 at 13:37 | comment | added | Philip Couling | @schrodingerscatcuriosity for this reason I've always been sad at the splitting of SO. I realise it has benefits, but somehow it's made it harder to get answers sometimes. | |
| Sep 11, 2023 at 12:21 | comment | added | schrodingerscatcuriosity | Not directly related, the other day I was thinking about how good would be cross site questions: those that by its nature could be answered in multiple SE sites. I guess that it would be a nightmare to implement, but could be a nice option in some advanced/niche cases such as the ones you mention. | |

| Sep 3, 2023 at 16:35 | comment | added | Shidouuu | I agree about leaving them open due to "reasonable doubt". In my opinion, closing a question is a significant measure taken onto it, therefore closing a question should not be taken lightly. The one closing a question should be "pretty sure" that the question is not mainly about U&L. Additionally, Windows-focused stackexchange sites may not have as many Linux users to answer questions, so "Linux-related" questions may be more appropriate here ayways. | |
