IO Error: Got minus one from a read call while connecting to the DB from outside the VM VirtualBox

YuriAPMay 28 2024

I have a fresh VM VirtualBox image (https://download.oracle.com/otn_software/virtualbox/dd/Oracle_Database_23ai_Free_Developer.ova) deployed in my Ubuntu 24.04 laptop with VM VirtualBox 7.0.18

when I try to connect to the DB 23ai Free from outside the VM, I get this error:

===============================

sql /nolog

SQLcl: Release 24.1 Production on Tue May 28 11:55:11 2024

Copyright (c) 1982, 2024, Oracle. All rights reserved.

SQL> conn system@localhost:1521/free
Password? (**********?) ******
USER = system
URL = jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521/free
Error Message = IO Error: Got minus one from a read call, connect lapse 428 ms., Authentication lapse 0 ms.

===============================

but at the same time, I can connect to the DB from inside the VM.

Port forwarding is kept as configured by Oracle, APEX is available from outside the VM.

How to get connected from outside?

Thank you in advance for any suggestion.
