Hi,
I'm setting up a NAT port forward from my host into a VM. This works fine. However, the host socket is bound to all interfaces (0.0.0.0) and this is an undesired security vulnerability. I have a specific local interface that I want to bind to, or even 127.0.0.1 (localhost) would be acceptable. I don't see anywhere in the GUI or in the nat.conf file where I can specify a host IP address/interface to bind the port forward.
This functionality exists in VirtualBox, so I am perplexed as to why a professional, paid product lacks this capability. At the moment, I have my system firewall configured to block external connections.
I am running VMware Workstation 16.1.1.
I am still looking for assistance and guidance on this issue. Thank you.
