Description: I've encountered several network connectivity issues when creating a new MacOS 15 virtual machine in Parallels Desktop: Shared Network Problems The MacOS 15 VM is assigned an IP address in the 192.168.64.xx range and cannot use shared networking In contrast, Windows VMs (with IP addresses in the 10.211.xxx range) work perfectly fine under the same conditions VPN Compatibility Issue When VPN is enabled on the host machine, the MacOS 15 VM completely loses network connectivity Windows VMs maintain normal network access even with host VPN enabled Environment: Virtualization Software: Parallels Desktop (PD 20 For Mac Pro Edition) Virtual Machines: MacOS 15.2, Windows 11 Host System: (MacOS15.2) Confirmed Behavior: Issues only occur with MacOS 15 VM Different IP subnets are assigned to different OS VMs VPN has a significant impact on MacOS VM network connectivity Questions: Has anyone else experienced similar issues? Are there any known solutions or workarounds? Has this been acknowledged as a known issue by Parallels?
I have a similar problem, but the IP address that DHCP assigns is from the 169.254.x.x range. Manual IP assignment (10.211.x.x) doesn't solve the problem. The version of macOS guest VM is the same as the host's one: 15.2 (Sequoia)
I can confirm this as well. Installing the guestOS macOS 15.2.0 dies if the VPN is turned on. GuestOS will terminate if you try to boot it from Parallels Control Center with the VPN turned on.
I am having same issue. Currently on macOS 15.2 host OS and macOS 12.6 guest OS on M1 physical MacBook Pro. When guess VM is configured to shared network for 10.211.55.1 subnet, it reverts back to 192.168.64.1 subnet and though sometime, i could access internet, the vpn connection is not shared. This is frustrating issue and Parallels KB instructions to fix it are not working (https://kb.parallels.com/129984/)
Same issue here and very annoying since I cannot access the web server in my Ubuntu VM. But even with an IP address in another segment, there should be a route in the host to fix this. But it would be better if _all_ virtual machine are in the same network.
I guess no one has fixed this issue? I made a support ticket and if resolved, I will try to post it here. My setup is a host M series macbook running Sequoia using an OpenVPN client. I have a windows 11 vm via Parallels. I have internet access for both systems when using the VPN BUT I can't access anything else on the .1 subnet. Which is what I really need on the host. I have multiple vpn conf edits pushing the .1 subnet but the host mac refuses to abide by those pushed rules from the vpn server. I have confirmed it's parallels causing this because the mac worked perfectly with the VPN before installing parallels. on two systems. No matter how I disable networking options in parallels and the VM, it continues to not recognize the .1 subnet over the vpn. I've also tried some route swapping to use the VPN route which does work but it's temporary until the VPN turns off, then you'd need to manually trigger the route swap again. I don't think I should have to make loads of conf files that auto trigger when the vpn turns on etc, when parallels is the cause. I'm trying to find a setting or 1 config file to make that removes whatever hold parallels has on the host networking settings.
Hi, did anyone get ant reply from Parallels about this problem? I have a similar problem, MacOS 15.4.1 Parallels Version 20.3.0 (55895)
There is a Parallels Preview version at https://my.parallels.com/desktop/preview that solves this problem. I had that installed and it worked fine, but there were other issues e.g. that my Laravel/homestead box didn't want to start properly. So I had to rollback. But it might work for you. If you can't download it, I suggest you contact Parallels support and ask for it.
