Assistance with networking configuration for multiple VM's

I am in need of trying to configure multiple virtual machines on my Mac Silicon, the aim is to have 4 VM's. On the host OS, I am using a VPN with lockdown mode and a kill switch to block leaks. 3 of the virtual machines I am using are configured to have "Shared Network" selected, so these VM's are using the host OS VPN which is my goal. However, for the last VM I wanted to know if it is possible to not have it connected to the VPN on the HostOS but directly connected to the network card? I want to use this virtual machine for using TOR, with the goal of connecting directly to the TOR network outside of the host VM's VPN connection. Can this be done by choosing in the network configuration "Bridged Network" > "Default Adapter"?
I just want to make sure that the two streams of traffic are completely separate and are not interfering with each other. So the VPN traffic does not leak nor the TOR VM.

Thank you and help will be appreciated.

Hello,
Indeed, setting your virtual machine configuration to Bridged Mode, which uses a virtualized network interface card with direct access to Internet.
More information can be found in this article.
Thank you.
 
Great, thank you, so choosing bridged mode, creates a virtualized network interface card that works outside of the VPN tunnel? Due to receiving a connection directly from the network adapter?
