Hi,

What is VBoxHeadless process?
I allowed ANY outgoing connection with my Firewall.

By default I block ANY incoming connection but I notice a lot (many) incoming connections. What are they? Should I allow them?

Thank you.

It's the VirtualBox process that corresponds to a (headless) VM.

How should we know? :) The answer depends on what kind of networking the VM uses (NAT, bridged, host-only) and what sort of traffic you actually want to allow or block.
