How to get VirtualBox VMs to use host's DNS? https://superuser.com/questions/641933/how-to-get-virtualbox-vms-to-use-hosts-dns

Raw

README.md

To achieve this you can setup DNS Proxy Mode using the host's resolver with the following command: VBoxManage modifyvm "VM name" --natdnshostresolver1 on

As the result, guest OS DNS requests will be intercepted and resolved using host DNS API, rather than having guest OS connect to external DNS servers as with --netdnsproxy1 on.

You can get the name of the VM by running VBoxManage list runningvms.
