How To make a VPN Gateway in Qubes
----------------------------------
The simplest case if you set up a VPN connection using the Network Manager inside one of your VMs. Setting up such a connection is really not Qubes specific and it is documented in Your operating system documentation. If you using the Qubes default Guest OS (Fedora): [Establishing a VPN Connection](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/23/html/Networking_Guide/sec-Establishing_a_VPN_Connection.html)
Setting up a VPN connection is really not Qubes specific and is documented in your operating system documentation. The relevant documentation for the Qubes default Guest OS (Fedora) is [Establishing a VPN Connection](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/23/html/Networking_Guide/sec-Establishing_a_VPN_Connection.html)
The Qubes specific part is to choose the right VM for the VPN client:
### NetVM
The simplest case is to set up a VPN connection using the Network Manager inside your NetVM. Because the NetworkManager already started you are ready to set up your VPN connection. However this has some disadvantages:
The simplest case is to set up a VPN connection using the NetworkManager service inside your NetVM. Because the NetworkManager service is already started, you are ready to set up your VPN connection. However this has some disadvantages:
- You have to place (and probably save) Your VPN credentials inside the NetVM which is directly connected to the outside world
- You have to place (and probably save) your VPN credentials inside the NetVM, which is directly connected to the outside world
- All your AppVMs which are connected to the NetVM will be connected to the VPN (by default)
### AppVM
While the Network Manager is not started here (for a good reason), you can configure any kind of VPN client in your AppVM as well, however it is only suggested if you have to use a special VPN client.

### ProxyVM
**WARNING:** *You need to use Qubes 3.1-rc2 (or later)! In the previous releases the NetworkManager was not working in ProxyVMs as expected.* ([#1052](https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1052))

One of the best thing in Qubes that you can use a special type of VMs called ProxyVM (or FirewallVM). The special thing is that your AppVMs see this as a NetVM, and the NetVMs see it as an AppVM. Because of that You can place a ProxyVM between your AppVMs and Your NetVM. This is how the default firewall VM is working.
