    Thank you very much for the great explanation! I have one question, I need two VMs to be connected to each other, and one of these two to also have Internet access at the same time. Based on the video, I should be able to achieve this with a single adapter using "NAT Network". However, I cannot access the Internet for some reason with the default settings. Is there any additional step I need to take to enable the Internet access?

    Bravo sir! Amazing explanation!! I was trying to route my traffic from one VM to a VM running a VPN then out to the internet. Bridged seems like the best way to do this. My goal is to use the VPN server to encrypt my traffic then use proxychains to change geolocation to eliminate the captchas when using tor.

      If it's an executable file you want to run (that contains the virus you want to check), maybe you can download it to the VM, then turn off networking completely before running it?
      Another important thing - make sure you didn't enable shared clipboard and you don't have any shared folders.

    Thankyou so much sir. I was confused on having same ip address for different VM s on NAT. Watched many videos and try to understand. All was waste of time. But your explanation gives what i wanted. Thankyou so much again. 🤩🤩🤩
    Also, can you suggest which adapter should i use to study cybersecurity with Kali and metasploitable vm s in virtual box. I am a beginner.

    VM can access internet through host,also can reach host and other external systems within same network ? Right

      Assuming you’re talking about bridged network, you’re absolutely right

      @@absprog sorry forgot to mention the network. I am talking about NAT Network. I can ping my father laptop which connected in the same Wi-Fi through the VMs

    I use another way to set up network. It based on host-only network,windows host as gateway.
    Windows can share network from one to another network card,.
    I share wifi to the host-only virtual network card,and all vm join this host-only network.
    Set up dhcp and make sure the gateway ip is the virtual network card on host(windows will force change it to 192.168.137.1)
    VM should be able to access network,and since it is the host-only network,vm and host can communicate each other
