Anyone have luck connecting to the rdp server built into virtualbox on 12.1-stable? It works like a charm on an ubuntu 20.04 host but I can't for the life of me get any client to connect to it when freebsd is the host! I can see it thinks vrdp is running with vboxmange showvminfo <vmid>. On a related note, I can't shutdown a vm on freebsd. It always hangs and leaves it in an unusable state where I can't start again either and I have to re-import. Google shows this issue has been plaguing bsd in various forms since at least 10.x. If I can't host vm's on freebsd, it's not very useful in the modern server environment. I know there's bhyve but the support from modern provisioning tools like vagrant and ansible is spotty at best. Source routing and multiple routing tables is still obscure to set up. No support for docker which has been out 7 years (yes, I know everyone will tell me to use jails, but once again those don't play with all the pre-existing tools out there so my workload is 10x how do I justify that to my boss). I'm so sad to see my all-time favorite OS slipping into obsolescence...but I digress. I'd still like to host vbox vms on it *if* I can figure out the bugs...
