This command of QEMU doesn't need root access :



qemu-system-x86_64 -m 3072 -smp 2 -hda Debian9.qcow2 -device e1000,netdev=net0 -netdev user,id=net0,hostfwd=tcp::5555-:22,hostfwd=tcp::9000-:9000


When I added the 443 and 80 port, I need root access :



sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -m 3072 -smp 2 -hda Debian9.qcow2 -device e1000,netdev=net0 -netdev user,id=net0,hostfwd=tcp::5555-:22,hostfwd=tcp::9000-:9000,hostfwd=tcp::443-:443,hostfwd=tcp::80-:80


Without root access I've got this error message :



qemu-system-x86_64: -netdev user,id=net0,hostfwd=tcp::5555-:22,hostfwd=tcp::9000-:9000,hostfwd=tcp::443-:443,hostfwd=tcp::80-:80: Could not set up host forwarding rule 'tcp::80-:80'


Is that meaning sort of TCP port access are protected in QEMU software ?

          The ports < 1024 are privileged, and only a root process (or a process with CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE capabilities in Linux) can bind a socket to them.



          The host forwarding in qemu works by qemu binding a socket to a port on the host machine; if the qemu process is running as a normal user with no extra caps, it won't be able to bind to 80 or 443.



          If you're on Linux, you can work around that with setcap CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE+ep /path/to/qemu-system-x86_64, but that's something I do not recommend.
