      It’s actually not bad to do it as long as your host machine has a static ip. Makes it easier to take a snapshot before you make major changes. Just be prepared with an extra router. If you have a family the second the Internet is not working you will be blamed.

        Yeah, that’s reasonable

        This not so much

        Lol, I get blamed enough for DNS, I don’t need routing too
