Warning network interfaces actually disconnect?

Post by SaniaMcgregor »

Hi,

Will the red notice 'Warning network interfaces' during upgrade actually disconnect me from the internet if I am on a vpn?

Here is the message:
"Installing the Oracle VM Virtualbox 6.1.18 Netowrking feature will reset you network connection and temporarily disconnect you from the network.
Proceed with installation now?"

FWIW I have installed Virtualbox on a host over a VNC connection, and the VNC connection stayed up, without any reconnects.

Only thing I can say is try it, planning for the possibility a reconnection may be required.
