| 3 | Another workaround: connect to the VirtualBox instance using RDP. In case of Windows guest, enable remote desktop and connect to it using the "Microsoft Remote Desktop" app available for free in the App Store. Or enable the VirtualBox "Remote Display" (VRDE) feature, and connect to that using that same app (in that case do remember to connect to 'localhost' and the configured port, not the guest IP). On top of that you could then start the guest in headless mode, to save some system resources: VBoxManage stratum "<vbox-name>" --type headless |
