@rtxn Maybe you find the reason in the chapter for Bridged Networking.
https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html#network_bridged
With bridged networking, Oracle VM VirtualBox uses a device driver on your host system that filters data from your physical network adapter. This driver is therefore called a net filter driver. This enables Oracle VM VirtualBox to intercept data from the physical network and inject data into it, effectively creating a new network interface in software.
@FilthyShrooms From my point of view most Linux- or *BSD-OS will be a good choice.
I’m running rootless podman on Manjaro Linux, but for many people an Arch Linux based system can be problematic related to possible stability issues from rolling updates.
A Debian based distribution could be a better choice for many people, especially when the provided services are running as container or in another virtualized environment.
