Description Jon Spriggs 2017-01-18 16:06:16 UTC 
While it's clear that opening up TCP/UDP1714-1764 would provide access in, it would also be useful to have some way to connect across a VM in NAT mode.

Perhaps, if when the Android client goes into "Specify IP address", the client could try to connect to whatever that NAT-Only address, instead of using the UDP broadcast address.

I realise this is pretty fluffy and non-specific and probably pretty niche, but it is something I would like to use! :)

Maybe you can make sure the VM is part of the same network? You can surely configure that in VirtualBox.
