Bridge Interface from Virtualbox Dedicated IP
Hey guys!
Wondering if anyone could provide guidance on how to make a bridge interface that I can connect to a Virtualbox instance to get a dedicated IP (from another VPS or whatever)?
The reason is that I only have a /30 with 1 usable IP, and the application needs a separate, bridged IP from Virtualbox.
Thanks!

You don't really need a bridge interface.
Follow these instructions:
Create your vm and go to network. Chose as network adapter "attaced to" NAT, and open advanced menu.
Press "port forwarding" and input host ip, external port access, internal ip and port.
Open your vm. Give manual network settings, the internal ip as the vm's ip, mask as you like and gateway the node's ip. Give your provider's dns or use google's 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
Voila! You have a vps listening to NAT ports. Give access from your liked port (e.g. 10022) to the internal port 22 and you will have a ssh port.
