Multi Network Interface configuration

[yooniks9]

Hi ,

It's good to have multiple network interface for virtualbuddy.

if there were an option to add additional network interface to the VM.

It's help for act as a jumpserver for remote admin

Thank you !

I'm pretty sure I tried that in the past, but Virtualization would only allow the VM to have a single network interface. I will try again to see if that limitation still exists.

UTM has this feature when running under Apple hypervisor, using it to have both NAT NIC and Bridge NIC with Guest Linux, the only thing I actually miss in VirtualBuddy

I've been a bit curious how this actually works in UTM (bridge), it seems that you need to have com.apple.vm.networking entitlement to be allowed using VZBridgedNetworkDeviceAttachment and that entitlement can only be set with Developer Account, does not work in ad-hoc mode with codesign

In case of general multiple NICs https://github.com/Code-Hex/vz allows you to use NAT and SLIRP NICs just fine (can be seen with lima), I wish it was simpler to get Bridge support :(

The version of VirtualBuddy you can download from GitHub releases (or automatic updates) already includes the com.apple.vm.networking entitlement and it supports bridged networking. It just doesn't allow multiple network interfaces to be configured for a given VM at the same time, but that's something I plan on implementing in the future.
