Make Virtual Machines connect to internet without using Organizational Network

Hello, I work at a University Research Lab.

We have a wifi network and a LAN for the university. The LAN is most probably segmented into different portions, for each separate department.

I have a task to run some malwares ( ransomwares and others, that communicate with the internet ) on a Virtual Machine (VM1) and capture it's traffic on another Virtual Machine (VM2)

The challenge is, that i cannot risk running dangerous malware while connected to the University's LAN ( or even Wi-Fi ? ) .

Therefore, according to my understanding, i need to provide both the VMs with a static route to the University's gateway, which will connect the entire university to the Internet. ( I am not sure this is the most optimal method, feel free to add suggestions as you see fit )

I need your kind guidance in figuring out how to do the static routing of the VM's to the university's gateway

I am using VMware Workstation ( 16.1.0 build-17198959 ) for the VMs. The OS used in both VMs is Windows 10 64 bit downloaded from here, legally ( i selected the MSEdge on Win 10 x64 option there )

Any help, guidance or resources you can provide to help me would be greatly appreciated
