access private VM from other computer over wifi

Question

I have a private network VM for developing on my mac. I'd like for my android device to be able to communicate with the VM on my mac. Currently I can visit the IP defined in my Vagrantfile, 10.10.10.10, on my mac and access it just fine but I can't access it via my phone on the same wifi.

What do I need to do to make it available across my local network and visible to my phone over wifi?

Here's my Vagrantfile

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.box = "precise64"
  config.vm.box_url = "http://files.vagrantup.com/precise64.box"

  config.vm.network :private_network, ip: "10.10.10.10"
    config.ssh.forward_agent = true

  config.vm.provider :virtualbox do |v|
    v.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--natdnshostresolver1", "on"]
    v.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--memory", 1024]
    v.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--name", "PHPBoxWith54"]
  end

  nfs_setting = RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /darwin/ || RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /linux/
  config.vm.synced_folder "./", "/var/www", id: "vagrant-root" , :nfs => nfs_setting
  config.vm.provision :shell, :inline =>
    "if [[ ! -f /apt-get-run ]]; then sudo apt-get update && sudo touch /apt-get-run; fi"


  config.vm.provision :shell, :inline => 'echo -e "mysql_root_password=root
controluser_password=awesome" > /etc/phpmyadmin.facts;'

  config.vm.provision :puppet do |puppet|
    puppet.manifests_path = "manifests"
    puppet.module_path = "modules"
    puppet.options = ['--verbose']
  end
end

You are using a Private Network IP which is only accessible by the Host machine (NOT visible to other machines even they are in the same WLAN).

In your case, the best choice is to use Public Network (bridged) so that your Android device can access it.

add config.vm.network "public_network" in your Vagrant file in the config block.

BTW: the default NAT mode is fine but you'll have to set proper port forwarding rules for each service you want to access (e.g. SSH, HTTP, HTTPS etc...).
