It might not be possible with VirtualBox alone, but with a Linux host and iptables it certainly works. Just create a separate user for VirtualBox and use iptables UID matching: iptables -A OUTPUT -o lo -p tcp -m owner --uid-owner vbox -m tcp \ --dport 22 -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -m owner --uid-owner vbox -j DROP (obviously, replace protocol and ports according to what you want) For some reason, doing the same with REJECT repeatedly crashed VirtualBox, but DROP seems to work well.
