Sometimes I need to test new software or prepare isolated stands. I use VirtualBox for these tasks. I want to access VMs from the host PC and the easiest way to achieve this is by using bridged network adapters. Unfortunately, VM with a bridged network is exposed not only to the host but also to all machines in the network. VM relies on the router DHCP. It’s can be unacceptable for some locations.
Today I’ve found how to access a NAT guest from host, so I can forward VM’s port to the host and do not expose the VM for the entire network.
