About

All of my VMs use three network adapters: a NAT Network adapter, a Host-only network adapter, and a Bridged adapter.

The NAT Network serves as a network between the VMs. The Bridge adapter allows the VMs to communicate with my local network. Lastly, the Host-only adapter enables the VMs to communicate back and forth with the homelab laptop.
