Currently when using default NAT as network setting the guest can access the host's LAN even though it's in a different subnet.
For people like me who run malware and untrusted software in the guest this is a problem.
Because viruses can spread across the host's LAN.
I believe many users don't know the guest can access the host's LAN.
Currently it's complicated to establish a sandbox network.
You need to setup another guest, install router software and configure firewalls.
What it needs is a sandbox network mode or a sandbox option for the default NAT network mode.
It must be possible to enable this sandbox mode easily in the VM's settings. (One single click on a checkbox or so.)
It could also make sense to enable sandbox mode by default.
Thank you in advance...

Re: [Feature request] Add easy sandbox network setting
Enhancement requests should be posted on the Bugtracker.
However, to implement this the devs would have to become expert outbound-firewall programmers, and they're busy getting 7.0 graphics running now. So it probably won't happen anytime soon. Certainly not in time for your project viewtopic.php?f=1&t=108712 .
