I've read something about virtual network devices and the ngnet project.
Is it the futur changed you are talking about ?
Do you have any other solution for virtual hosting services to provide
guests
firewall management ?

I understand the security recommandations to limit devices
inside a guest and agree with them.
I was asking because when entering a guest I get the following error message

Any clue ?
