 If you want to decide per connection, `NetworkManager` also provides an option to not send the hostname:  
 Edit the saved connection files at `/rw/config/NM-system-connections/*.nmconnection` and add the `dhcp-send-hostname=false` line to both the `[ipv4]` and the `[ipv6]` section.

-### Randomize the hostname
-
-Alternatively you may use the following code to assign a random hostname to a VM during each of its startup. Please follow the instructions mentioned in the beginning to properly install it.
-
-```.bash
-#!/bin/bash
-set -e -o pipefail
-#
-# Set a random hostname for a VM session.
-#
-# Instructions:
-# 1. This file must be placed and made executable (owner: root) inside the template VM of your network VM such that it will be run before your hostname is sent over a network.
-# In a Fedora template, use `/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/pre-up.d/00_hostname`.
-# In a Debian template, use `/etc/network/if-pre-up.d/00_hostname`.
-# 2. Execute `sudo touch /etc/hosts.lock` inside the template VM of your network VM.
-# 3. Execute inside your network VM:
-#  `sudo bash -c 'mkdir -p /rw/config/protected-files.d/ && echo -e "/etc/hosts\n/etc/hostname" > /rw/config/protected-files.d/protect_hostname.txt'`

-Assuming that you're using `sys-net` as your network VM, your `sys-net` hostname should now be `PC-[number]` with a different `[number]` each time your `sys-net` is started.

-Please note that the above script should _not_ be added to [/rw/config/rc.local](https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/config-files/)) as that is executed only _after_ the network fully started.
