Fix for: What is the difference between NAT / Bridged / Host-Only networking?
Low Risk
Host-only only permits network operations with the Host OS. NAT mode will mask all network activity as if it came from your Host OS, although the VM can access external resources. Bridged mode replicates another node on the physical network and your VM will receive it's own IP address if DHCP is enabled in the network.
