KB Parallels: Which networking mode (Bridged, Shared or Host-Only) should I prefer for the VM?
What is the difference between NAT / Bridged / Host-Only networking?

Same concept as the normal network setup 🙂
-
Host-Only: The VM will be assigned one IP, but it’s only accessible by the box VM is running on. No other computers can access it.
-
NAT: Just like your home network with a wireless router, the VM will be assigned in a separate subnet, like
192.168.6.1is your host computer, and VM is192.168.6.3, then your VM can access outside network like your host, but no outside access to your VM directly, it’s protected. -
Bridged: Your VM will be in the same network as your host, if your host IP is
172.16.120.45then your VM will be like172.16.120.50. It can be accessed by all computers in your host network.
