Ticket #17914, comment 6
v1 v2 1 That table only states that there's no bidirectional network communication between the guest and the host, which is still true when the guest can access the host. The manual also states "Use proper means, for instance a firewall, to protect your computer and your guest(s) from accesses from the outside. Choosing the proper networking mode for VMs helps to separate host networking from the guest and vice versa." VirtualBox doesn't implement any firewall features. The firewalling effect ofthe clients behind a NAT is only a consequence of how NAT works.1 That table only states that there's no bidirectional network communication between the guest and the host, which is still true when the guest can access the host.
