Documented steps

  1. Pre-create or obtain a network namespace handle you want the VM to join.
  2. Pass --netns <path> to the jailer, e.g. --netns /var/run/netns/ns1.
  3. During setup the jailer joins the netns via setns(fd, CLONE_NEWNET) BEFORE dropping privileges.
  4. Configure the VM's tap/network interfaces from within that namespace context so traffic flows through the intended isolation domain.
