Mullvad Qubes Proxy VM guide

[grrrrr]

I'm working through the guide you recently put out and am running into DNS issues and I wonder if this is something that needs specific configuration to get it working.

• I have AppVM going through the Mullvad ProxyVPN.
• With VPN off AppVM can reach the internet (not over VPN)
• When open Mullvad GUI client the VPN on ProxyVPN sets up a wireguard connection
• On the AppVM I can briefly connect to websites once wireguard is connected, after that DNS starts failing (I can reach sites by IP)

How does the AppVM get a working DNS setup, looking at the Qubes Manager it shows it is using the Qubes system wide DNS resolvers instead of a Mullvad DNS server/

Did you add the workaround

echo "sleep 10 # Waiting a bit that Mullvad succeeds to establish connection
/usr/lib/qubes/qubes-setup-dnat-to-ns" | sudo tee -a /rw/config/rc.local

in the ProxyVM? And did you enable the Mullvad daemon and set Mullvad to autoconnect at boot?

[grrrrr]

I am not understanding what I did incorrect the first time but it is working, I suspect I might have done some of the changes in a running AppVM terminal instead of the Template

Awesome. Sounds like you sorted it out.
