Lima can also connect to “unmanaged” networks addressed by “socket”. This means that the daemons will not be controlled by Lima, but must be started before the instance. The interface type (host, shared, or bridged) is configured in socket_vmnet and not in lima.

See Managed networks (macOS) for how to install socket_vmnet.
