## netvm
## net qube
The property of a [qube](#qube) that specifies from which qube, if any, it
receives network access. Despite the name, `netvm` is a *property* of a qube,
not a type of VM. For example, it is common for the `netvm` of an [app
qube](#app-qube) to be the [service qube](#service-qube) `sys-firewall`, which
in turn uses `sys-net` as its `netvm`.
Internally known as `netvm`. The property of a [qube](#qube) that specifies
from which qube, if any, it receives network access. Despite the name, "net
qube" (or `netvm`) is a *property* of a qube, not a *type* of qube. For
example, it is common for the net qube of an [app qube](#app-qube) to be the
[service qube](#service-qube) `sys-firewall`, which in turn uses `sys-net` as
its net qube.
* If a qube does not have a `netvm` (i.e., its `netvm` is set to `None`), then
* If a qube does not have a net qube (i.e., its `netvm` is set to `None`), then
that qube is offline. It is disconnected from all networking.
* The name derives from "Networking Virtual Machine." Before Qubes 4.0, there
was a type of [service qube](#service-qube) called a "NetVM." The name of the
`netvm` property is a holdover from that era.
