How to get Guest VM to be accessible by other devices? (lemmy.world)

Hello. I wanted to know if it was possible to get a VMWare guest VM that's acting as my self-hosted streaming server to be accessible by other devices outside my host pc?

I know it would be able to if I just set it to a bridged network connection, but I also want it to strictly only have access to the internet through my host pc that would also be using a VPN, which is why I want to leave it on NAT.

Basically, I want all my local network devices on my router to be able to access a guest VM on my PC that is only able to access the internet through the host PC.

I'm using VMWare workstation Pro, with an Ubuntu guest VM that has Jellyfin, Plex, Jackett, and etc. for streaming media.

Configure port forwarding for the VM.
