      It’s a debian VM, much better than messing with the android system. All I want now is bridged mode for the network adapters

        It appears to be running behind NAT but it’s already have an easy port forwarding feature where I was able to connect to a server running on the VM by connecting to localhost in Termux.

          Can you forward ports below 1024? I don’t get the notification when it’s these ports that require sudo.
