If you get a “File exists” error, maybe delete and retry? sudo route -nv delete -net 192.168.64.0/24

start it by running sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/istĬould try sudo route -nv add -net 192.168.64.0/24 -interface bridge100.

Is the bootpd DHCP server alive? ( sudo lsof -iUDP:67 -n -P should mention bootpd).

Internet Sharing - doesn’t usually clash.

If you’re having trouble downloading images and/or see Unknown errors when trying to multipass launch -vvv, Little Snitch may be interfering with multipassd's network access (ref.

Little Snitch - defaults are good, it should permit mDNSResponder and bootpd access to BPF.

It’s ok to block incoming connections to “multipassd” however.

Blocking all incoming connections prevents a DHCP server from running locally, to give an IP to the instance.

If so it must not “Block all incoming connections”.

Troubleshooting ( section to be expanded) Unable to determine IP address usually implies some networking configuration is incompatible, or there is interference from a Firewall or VPN.

extra IPs not reachable between instances.

multipass shell works but the instance cannot connect to the internet.

MacOS update can make changes to the firewall and leave instances in unknown state (see below).

custom DHCP server bound to port 67? (“sudo lsof -iUDP:67 -n -P” should show launchd & bootpd only).

another dnsmasq process bound to localhost port 53.

dnscrypt-proxy/dnscrypt-wrapper/cloudflared-proxyĭefault configuration binds to localhost port 53, clashing with Internet Sharing.

Cisco Umbrella Roaming Client it binds to localhost:53 which clashes with Internet Sharing, breaking instance’s DNS (ref: Umbrella Roaming Client OS X and Internet Sharing).

Possible culprits: OpenVPN, F5, Dell SonicWall, Cisco An圜onnect, Citrix/Netscaler Gateway, Jupiter Junos Pulse / Pulse Secure.

VPN software can be aggressive at managing routes, and may route 192.168.64 subnet through the VPN interface, instead of keeping it locally available.This is fine-in the background, it will still be enabled to support instances. Note that, according to “System Preferences” -> “Sharing”, the 'Internet Sharing'service can appear disabled. provide DHCP and DNS resolution on this switch at 192.168.64.1 (via bootpd & mDNSResponder services running on the host) this is configured by an auto-generated file /etc/ist - but editing this is pointless as MacOS re-generates it as it desires.create a virtual switch and connect each instance to it (subnet 192.168.64.*).On creation of an instance, amework on the host uses macOS’ “Internet Sharing” mechanism to This framework manages the networking stack for the instances.

The drivers used on MacOS (HyperKit and QEMU) employ macOS’ amework. Anti-virus / security software blocking instances.Stale Internet connection sharing lease.Possible other option - configure Multipass to use a different subnet?.Tools known to interfere with Multipass.

This document demonstrates how to troubleshoot various known Multipass networking issues on macOS and Windows.

Use a different terminal from the system icon.

Authenticate clients with the Multipass service.

If you want to switch back to the Shared network mode, change this part to:Īnd restart the virtual machine.

Close the file, saving changes by clicking Command + S.

Open the file in TextEdit: right-click config.ini > Open With > Other, check Enable All Applications select Text Edit, and click Open.

This will create a config.ini file on your Mac Desktop. If it doesn't exist, open Terminal ( Applications > Utilities > Terminal) and execute the following command:

Locate the virtual machine .macvm file: click on Parallels icon || > Control Center > right-click on the virtual machine > Show in Finder.

To enable the Bridged mode, please perform the following steps:

This option might also be used as a workaround for cases when a macOS virtual machine (VM) on a Mac with Apple M1 chip has no network connection. Starting with Parallels Desktop 17.1 update, we introduce the support for Bridged network mode in macOS Monterey 12 virtual machine on a Mac with Apple M1 chip.
