Why "host only"? That may not let it go out.

Not true, I do almost all of my testing locally here with pfSense in
VirtualBox and it has zero issues. Any issues you're seeing are likely
with the network config or NIC config, VM resources, etc, but not
VirtualBox in general or pfSense.

I use bridged NICs for WANs and then Internal Network setups for the LAN
side.

There are so few postings about VirtualBox because in general there
aren't many/any issues with it. It works fine.
