Hello, all VM's in Qubes consume a large amount of memory by default. You can restrict your firewall VM to 1 GB or less. You can restrict the memory consummtion under 'Right click -> VM Settings -> Advanced' to Max. Memory ~1024 MB or less.
There is also a Unikernel solution. Unikernels are special purpose operating systems. Thomas Leonard created a Unikernel firewall for Qubes OS which runs perfectly fine with 30 MB of RAM. You will find resources on how to do it here: https://github.com/talex5/qubes-mirage-firewall http://roscidus.com/blog/blog/2016/01/01/a-unikernel-firewall-for-qubesos/ Best regards J.
