Hello all,

I was looking to see if I could update an offline standalone VM, by
appending a line to `etc/qubes-rpc/policy/qubes.UpdatesProxy` and I now
have some questions.

First, I noticed the lines:

~~~
# Default rule for all TemplateVMs - direct the connection to sys-net
$type:TemplateVM $default allow,target=sys-net
~~~

Q1) Is this correct?  Shouldn't updates be directed to sys-firewall
instead of sys-net?  Are all of our templates exposed to (untrusted)
sys-net?

Hopefully I am wrong about this, but either way I'd appreciate if
someone could explain...

Q2) If I want to update an offline standalone VM called `OfflineSA`,
what would be the proper syntax in
`etc/qubes-rpc/policy/qubes.UpdatesProxy`?  I have tried each of the
following without success:

OfflineSA $default allow,target=sys-net
OfflineSA $default allow,target=sys-firewall
OfflineSA allow,target=sys-net
OfflineSA allow,target=sys-firewall
$type:StandaloneVM $default allow,target=sys-net
$type:StandaloneVM $default allow,target=sys-firewall

Q3) do I need to restart my whole qubes system for any new
`etc/qubes-rpc/policy/qubes.UpdatesProxy` rules to come into effect?

Q4) can update proxies perhaps only be set via some $tag or $type?

Thank you!
