via `qvm-firewall` described below. Connections to Updates Proxy are no longer made
over network so can not be allowed or blocked with firewall rules

In complex cases, it might be appropriate to load a ruleset using `iptables-restore`

Reconnecting VMs after a NetVM reboot
Reconnecting VMs after a NetVM reboot (R4.0)
----------------------------------------
Normally Qubes doesn't let the user stop a NetVM if there are other qubes
running which use it as their own NetVM. But in case the NetVM stops for
whatever reason (e.g. it crashes, or the user forces its shutdown via qvm-kill
via terminal in Dom0), Qubes R4.0 will often automatically repair the
connection. If it does not, then there is an easy way to restore the connection to
the NetVM by issuing:
` qvm-prefs <vm> netvm <netvm> `
Normally qubes do not connect directly to the actual NetVM which has networking
devices, but rather to the default sys-firewall first, and in most cases it would
be the NetVM that will crash, e.g. in response to S3 sleep/restore or other
issues with WiFi drivers. In that case it is only necessary to issue the above
command once, for the sys-firewall (this assumes default VM-naming used by the
default Qubes installation):
` qvm-prefs sys-firewall netvm sys-net `

Where to put firewall rules
Where to put firewall rules (R4.0)
---------------------------
Implicit in the above example [scripts](/doc/config-files/), but worth
calling attention to: for all qubes *except* AppVMs supplying networking,
iptables commands should be added to the `/rw/config/rc.local` script. For
AppVMs supplying networking (`sys-firewall` inclusive),
iptables commands should be added to
`/rw/config/qubes-firewall-user-script`.
