    Anyone know how to forward a range of ports to Virtual Box Windows Host.

    vboxmachine setextradata "name" "path" value

    works for a single port.. if i do like 1234-2345, it gives an error on starting the virtual machine.. i'm wanting to forward a few thousand ports and doing it one by one doesn't seem feasible

    thanks.

    The port forwarding uses NAT. NAT was not made for '1000s of ports'. I recommend you switch to bridged mode for your connection type.

    There is no command to forward port ranges btw.
