====== Proxmox - Networking - Host Only Network ======

To connect VMs directly on the host, without sending the traffic to the external world, a host only network can be used.

A virtual bridge interface will need to be created, but there is no need to bind it to a physical network interface.

<code bash>
vi /etc/network/interfaces
</code>

Add the following lines to the file:

<file bash /etc/network/interfaces>
auto vmbr1
iface vmbr1 inet static
        bridge_ports none
        bridge_stp off
        bridge_fd 0
</file>

<WRAP info>
**NOTE:**  All VMs connected to this interface will be able to talk to each other.

  * They will not be able to connect to the external world using this interface.
