[virt-tools-list] Recommendation for improvement/feature request of virt-manager

[scrap at mailbox.org]

Hello Cole,

thanks a lot for your kind reply! Let me try to answer your questions:

I am just asking for implementation of that kind of on/off switch, 
because it would be lots easier to quickly disable internet access for 
specific VMs with any possibility like that.

Currently I have selected "NAT" with device model "virtio", but the VM 
has still access to public internet. Maybe I misunderstood something?


> What kind of network source are you using?

The host is connected to network via cable, the virtual machine NIC is 
configured as NAT with device model "virtio" (what is creating a 
interface called "vnet0" on the host). This VM has full public internet 
access, but I want to restrict its access to the host only (to create a 
file exchange between host and guest, but without internet access).


Thank you very much for your help!

With best regards!
Daniel
