• Why? The emulator is a VM. If you have the physical device, use the physical device.
• However, if you are trying to simulate a network connection from a physical USB-to-Ethernet adapter, this won't work. You need Level 2.

• Passing a USB device into a VM is effectively giving that VM full access to the hardware—ensure you trust the guest.
• For network or host proxies, consider encrypting the transport if it crosses untrusted networks.
• Be careful with devices that can contain sensitive data (storage, cameras); avoid exposing them to untrusted VM images.
