Glad you love it already, you will likeliy only grow even happier with Qubes over time :-) It's an amazing project indeed! and there is still a lot of new things going on, expanding the idea of what Qubes is about further. Like the recent news here https://www.qubes-os.org/news/2018/01/22/qubes-air/ as far as I understood it it's not changing Qubes or the ideas and principles behind Qubes, but it is however expanding what you can opt-in and with choices you have with Qubes. Ad for changing updates over Tor, yes, and it's super easy too :-) Go to Qubes menu ---> System Tools ---> Global Qubes Settings. In there, change the UpdateVM away from sys-whonix, and put it to sys-firewall. There are many in the list, but on any default install, you can only use sys-whonix or sys-firewall, the former for Tor, and the latter for regular network. If you expand your default setup to include an VPN connection, multiple of VPN connections, or multiple of Tor connections, combine, or have multiple of firewalls, then here too is where you'll change where Qubes gets its updates from :-) Note in Qubes 4, Qubes will handle the default pre-installed template updates, so that templates has no internet themselves (unlike Qubes 3.2. where every template has internet on their own). You still update the same way, but Qubes will handle the distribution of template packages. As far as I know, this too will follow this setting, although I'm only almost sure, not entire, I did not yet check if my assumption here is true or not. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
