Description

When using TailScale, I lose connectivity to my Host-Only networking VM.

Even after disconnecting and exiting TailScale the connectivity problems continue until I issue:

```
sudo ifconfig vboxnet0 down
sudo ifconfig vboxnet0 up
```

Then I can connect again to the VM.

App Version 1.10.1, Big Sur 11.4, Vagrant 2.2.16, VirtualBox 6.1.22 r144080.

Thanks!

David

Research direction

Start by reproducing the loss of connectivity between the macOS host and the Host-Only networking VM with Tailscale, Vagrant 2.2.16, and VirtualBox 6.1.22. Check whether connectivity still fails after Tailscale exits and whether cycling vboxnet0 restores it. Done means the VM remains reachable without manually bringing vboxnet0 down and up.
