Multipass

Why is it not possible to ping 10.76.249.1 but its possible to ping 192.168.64.12 on the same VM
Also i cant ping a server running in the vms container but i can ping the server while inside the VM

aOKs-MacBook-Pro:~ aok$ multipass ls

Hi @anondeki!

One of those IP addresses corresponds to the Multipass network, while the other one corresponds to your local network, on a bridged interface you created on the instance. For that reason, the 192.168.64.0 network is accessible from outside the instance (i.e., from other computer in the same network), but not the other one.

We are currently working on filtering out the “default” instance address, so as to avoid confusion among the users.

Hope this explanation helps!
