Hi Jonathan,

I second Jon's recommendation of setting the network adapter to bridged
mode and I'd like to offer you two alternatives to VirtualBox.

The first alternative is Windows Subsystem for Linux <
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/faq>. This is more gentle on
system resources than running any VM.

The second alternative is if you have Windows 10 Professional or higher,
you are licensed for Hyper-V. That would be a higher performance option
than VirtualBox.

Both are better integrated with Windows than VirtualBox.

Regards,
