I can't see any fundamental difference between [2] and [3], though admittedly
the Parabola wiki is more verbose and the topic is integrated into single
bloated article, whereas Arch wiki has the information split across multiple
pages - this is actually considered to be a good thing; plus every Archer should
be used to this. (But of course nothing is perfect, any improvements are
certainly welcome.)

As has been said, you should look into networking more generally - for example,
QEMU page on Arch wiki [4] describes several scenarios usable with
VMs/containers, though you probably don't want to use the QEMU-specific stuff.
If you want something more, look into the kernel docs [5].
