Port notes

Install the tart-softnet port to enable softnet networking (--net-softnet), which isolates virtual machines from each other and from the host network.

Bridged networking (--net-bridged) is unavailable in this build. It requires the com.apple.vm.networking entitlement, which Apple grants only through a provisioning profile issued to an approved developer account. NAT networking is unaffected.

To avoid DHCP address shortage when running many VMs per day, consider reducing the default lease time from 86400 to 600 seconds:

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.InternetSharing.default.plist bootpd -dict DHCPLeaseTimeSecs -int 600
