Public bug reported: I've got a guest only network and I'm wanting to access SSH on one of the guests externally. I'm using -netdev user,id=usernet0,hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22,restrict=yes -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=usernet0 to forward 2222 to 22 in the guest.
The docs state: restrict=on|off If this option is enabled, the guest will be isolated, i.e. it will not be able to contact the host and no guest IP packets will be routed over the host to the outside. This option does not affect any explicitly set forwarding rules. However, with restrict=on, the forwarded port is only accessible from the host. Other systems receive no data. This was tested with qemu 2.8. Changelog for 2.9 doesn't mention any (relevant) user networking changes, so that should also fail. ** Affects: qemu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1696746 Title: netdev user,restrict=on prevents forwarded ports from being accessed from other systems Status in QEMU: New Bug description: I've got a guest only network and I'm wanting to access SSH on one of the guests externally.
