What is Host-only adapter in Virtualbox?

A Host-Only adapter in VirtualBox creates a private network isolated from the physical network. This means that virtual machines connected to a Host-Only adapter can only communicate with each other and the host machine

• Isolation: No external network access.
• Direct communication: VMs can communicate directly with each other and the host.
• Control: You have full control over the network environment.

• Testing network configurations: Create isolated environments for testing network setups.
• Development environments: Isolate development environments from the main network, preventing interference or security issues.
• Secure environments: Protect sensitive data by preventing external access, ideal for working with confidential information.
