ix vm set

Change VM settings: the north-south internet on/off toggles

Usage: ix vm set [OPTIONS] <VM>

Change VM settings: the north-south internet on/off toggles.

ix vm set <name> --internet-ingress off makes the host drop inbound internet traffic to the VM; --internet-egress off drops outbound. East-west group traffic (ix group) and the ix control plane (shell, exec, and the SDK's session plane) keep working either way. There is deliberately no per-port grammar here: to expose only specific ports, front the VM with a reverse proxy such as the ix/gateway stock image and turn ingress off on the workload VM.
