Ideally, it would be a Qrexec socket service, but it doesn't handle DNS, only accepting IPs. The dev qube is now non-networked and network, especially to remote git repositories can be acquired via the proxy that is going to be installed in every netvm. |

sys-net
PCI handler of network devices in Qubes OS.
Table of Contents
Description
Creates and configure qubes for handling the network devices. Qubes OS provides the state "qvm.sys-net", but it will create only "sys-net", which can be a disposable or not. This package takes a different approach, it will create an AppVM "sys-net" and a DispVM "disp-sys-net".
By default, the chosen one is "disp-sys-net", but you can choose which qube type becomes the upstream net qube "default_netvm" and the fallback target for the "qubes.UpdatesProxy" service in case no rule matched before.
Installation
Before installation, rename your current sys-net to another name such as
sys-net-old, the old qube will be used to install packages required for the
minimal template. After successful installation and testing the new net qube
capabilities, you can remove the old one. If you want the default net qube
back, just set sys-net template to the full template you are using, such as
Debian or Fedora. Before starting, turn on the default_netvm and check if
DNS is working, after that, proceed with the installation.
- Top:
sudo qubesctl top.enable sys-net
sudo qubesctl --targets=tpl-sys-net state.apply
sudo qubesctl top.disable sys-net
sudo qubesctl state.apply sys-net.prefs-disp
- State:
sudo qubesctl state.apply sys-net.create
sudo qubesctl --skip-dom0 --targets=tpl-sys-net state.apply sys-net.install
sudo qubesctl state.apply sys-net.prefs-disp
If you need to debug a net qube, install some helper tools:
sudo qubesctl --skip-dom0 --targets=tpl-sys-net state.apply sys-net.install-debug
If you prefer to have an app qube as the net qube:
sudo qubesctl state.apply sys-net.prefs
You might need to install some firmware on the template for your network drivers. Check files/admin/firmware.txt.
Usage
A network manager is provided in sys-net, from there you can manager Wi-Fi
or Ethernet cable connections. You can also use it for network monitoring. It
should be relied on to hold firewall rules for other qubes, use
sys-firewall, sys-pihole or sys-mirage-firewall for that purpose.
