[qubes-users] Re: USB Printer

2018-08-23 Thread smcmj
...as an FYI I did have to add my drivers as they were not included, I 
downloaded my drivers in a DVM, moved the driver to my templates DeskTop and 
then did the following to install them:

su
cd Desktop
sh "driver file"

I was then prompted with a long list of commands in terminal that are likely 
different depending on your printer.

The USB vs Network is something I can't speak to...

[qubes-users] Whonix 14 - Update errors?

2018-08-17 Thread smcmj
...again I want to thank the Whonix/Qubes team for everything they do!! You are 
awesome...

In the spirit of feedback:

I just tried updating Whonix-ws-14 and started receiving errors? I saw another 
post with similar 
issues(https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/qubes-users/ppdbaDAavRY), I 
thought it best to call out the specific issue in the subject so it might help 
others with this issue:

The error I get, when using the "Qubes Manager" -> "Whonix-ws-14" -> "Update 
qube" is:


Err:20
tor+http://deb.dds6qkxpwdeubwucdiaord2xgbbeyds25rbsgr73tbfpqpt4a6vjwsyd.onion
stretch Release
  Connection failed
Reading package lists... Done


E: The repository
'tor+http://deb.dds6qkxpwdeubwucdiaord2xgbbeyds25rbsgr73tbfpqpt4a6vjwsyd.onion
stretch Release' does no longer have a Release file.

N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is
therefore disabled by default.

N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user
configuration details. 

Whats strange is that I tried the update again while writing this post and it 
appeared no updates were needed

I think I am OK but wanted to share.

Thanks Patrick...

Got it working! I went to the whonix-ws-14 template, added "Tor Browser 
Downloader (AnonDist)" to list of applications, then clicked on "Tor Browser 
Downloader (AnonDist)", the Tor Browser downloaded.

This then populated the whonix-ws-14-dvm with the browser.

Launched the "Tor Browser" as a -dvmno issues!

[qubes-users] Whonix 14 - Updated, just lost Tor Browser for Whonix-dvm??

2018-08-15 Thread smcmj
I just transitioned to the new Whonix 14 templates, everything was working 
great however I just updated both the -gw and -ws templates and lost the Tor 
Browser(AnonDist) from the whonix-ws-14-dvm after update? When I launch a 
"whonix-ws-14-dvm" browser I get a pop-up asking: "Tor Browser not 
installed/Start Tor Browser download?".

What I tried:

To customize the -dvm's in Debian and Fedora I have run the following to 
customize -dvm's (other then whonix):

[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-run -a debian-dvm gnome-terminal

Then in new terminal of “-dvm” type “firefox” to launch firefox, then I 
customize the browser.

I tried the following with Whonix-dvm:
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-run -a whonix-ws-14-dvm gnome-terminal

The problem I am having is:
1) The "whonix-ws-14-dvm" starts but no gnome terminal launches?
2) Since whonix doesn't use "Firefox" what would I type to launch the "Tor 
Browser"? Assuming I eventually get a gnome terminal to launch
3) How do I install the Tor Browser safely into either the template or -dvm?

Other notes:
- I created an AppVM using the updated "whonix-ws-14" template, received a 
popup that "Tor Browser" is not installed, installed the oldest browser per the 
recommendation on the pop-up, however after installing another pop-up states: 
"Signature looks quite old already...check signature looks sane".  I was able 
to navigate to an Onion site, whonix check came back OK.


Thanks again for the help...

2018-08-13 Thread smcmj
Thanks awokd...

I ended up doing a fresh install. Similar results...however I did manage to get 
it installed.

I started again with the Whonix wiki 
instructions(https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Qubes/Install), except for me I also:

* In addition to the following: "sudo qubesctl state.sls qvm.anon-whonix" , per 
the instructions, I also ran "sudo qubesctl state.sls qvm.sys-whonix" and it 
loaded the Whonix-gw template.


Not sure it was happening in the background but waited for 1 1/2 hrs with no 
feedback after the "sudo qubesctl state.sls qvm.anon-whonix" command in Dom0.

Regardless I have it running...thanks Whonix/Qubes!

[qubes-users] Whonix 14 installation problem...using 4.0?

2018-08-12 Thread smcmj
I tried installing whonix 14 and it didn't install...followed these 
instructions:
https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Qubes/Install

Removed old Whonix templates and VMs (Not sure I was supposed to but the 
instructions state to remove old version)

Updated Dom0

I then did the following command in Dom0 per the Whonix instruction:
sudo qubes-dom0-update qubes-core-admin-addon-whonix (Didn't seem like a 
typical template install/reinstall)

This is where things broke down and I think I messed up, that is, after I 
entered the following:
sudo qubesctl state.sls qvm.anon-whonix

First time I have used salt or issued this type command (Didn't seem like a 
normal Qubes template update or re-install), Dom0 terminal just seemed to 
stall

I found this article that might be similar:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/qubes-users/whonix$2014%7Csort:date/qubes-users/A_CYJchSZBQ/BcuMjY6LDwAJ

Now I think I screwed this up even more:
1) I originally closed the Dom0 terminal, likely messing up the download, salt 
process or something else. It looked like dom0 had stalled (not uncommon based 
on my GUI dom0 update experience)
2) I found the whonix-14-gw installed but whonix-14-ws did not
3) I removed/deleted the templates based on the following 4.0 instructions:
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/templates/ specifically I issued the following 
command for whonix-14-dvm, whonix-14-gw, whonix-14-ws(whose template was 
blank). The thinking was just to try again.
4) I tried the instructions again on: https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Qubes/Install 
and dom0 states:

After issuing the following command: sudo qubes-dom0-update 
qubes-core-admin-addon-whonix I get the following message in dom0 terminal - 
qubes-core-admin-whonix-4.0.1-1.fc25 noarch is already installednothing to 
do.complete

After issuing the following command: sudo qubesctl state.sls qvm.anon-whonix I 
get the following message in dom0 terminal - 'state.sls qvm.anon-whonix" is not 
available...Dom0 configuration failed, not continuing.

Per the whonix instructions, I tried sudo qubes-dom0-update 
--enablerepo=qubes-dom0-current-testing qubes-mgmt-salt-dom0-virtual-machines I 
get the following message in dom0 terminal "...is already installed, skipping. 
Dependencies resolved. Nothing to do. Complete!"

My questions are:

1) How can I try to install whonix 14 again?
2) Did I just screw up my system with these edits and changes? If so how do I 
undo?

Thanks for any ideas or help

[qubes-users] Re: VM Manager update / VMM setup for AppQube for web or mail only?

2018-08-08 Thread smcmj
I take a more whitelist/controlled approach with my multiple DVM. With 4.0 you 
can have multiple DVMs and have different DVMs for each domain(This can be 
changed in the "Advanced" tab in the AppVMs in 4.0). Very cool feature...

For example:

I have a DVM setup for printing only, the firewall rules on that DVM are:

Address: Printers wireless IP = 192.168.1.6 (fixed IP in my case)
Service(or port): 515 (Canon) or 9100 (HP) or other ports might be needed 
including 631, 427. Research your printer for whats required...
Protocol: TCP only

For my email IMAP AppVM(In the email AppVM "Firewall" tab):

2 Rules-
Address: 66.11.4.135 (imap.fastmail.com)
Service(or port): 993
Protocol: TCP

Address: 66.11.4.140 (smtp.fastmail.com)
Service(or port): 465
Protocol: TCP

(To be honest I use a different email provider so the IP and ports are 
different but you get the idea. This info as with my own is usually published 
on thesite or available by asking the network admin)

My "Web Surfing" DVM has no firewall rules i.e. "Allow All" which I can also 
print from. This could be tightened up if needed...

I have played with my VPN AppVM as follows(kinda kill switch?):
Address: 168.1.75.17 (IP address to my VPN connection)
Service(or port): 1194
Protocol: TCP

You might have a AdminVM for your router, firewall or switch which could be:
Address: 192.168.4.6
Service(or port): 31006 (I think there are +65000 ports available)
Protocol: TCP

My sys-firewall does not have any restrictions


With this set up, I can:
a) Assign the Print DVM to my Vault and Email AppVM, I think most important for 
email Appvm to prevent a malicious attachment from "calling home" when 
opened(Althoug it could go thru my printer?). 
b) Assign the web surfing DVM to my "untrusted" domain
c) Have a restricted AppVM for Web GUI admin functions

I just take a more strict approach and block ALL then whitelist when 
needed...for me this gives me what I need. Again open to feedback if this is 
wrong...

[qubes-users] Re: ANN: Testing new VPN code for Qubes

2018-08-07 Thread smcmj
Just got this going, awesome Tasket. Thank you again Qubes team for what you 
do! 

Works like a charm...the only feedback is the newly updated "Qubes Manager" is 
sometimes "buggy" with the VPNApVM. I don't believe it impacts performance.

Some notes:
-Qubes 4.0
-Worked in Fedora28 and Debian9 template/Proxy VM
-Changed the DNS to use Quad9 and it worked
-Using PIA, utilizing the OpenVPN-IP files (haven't tried the other PIA configs 
from their site)
- I needed to install Nautilus and OpenVPN for Debian9 (using my instructions 
below)

I really struggled setting this up, but below are the steps/notes I followed in 
combination with the instructions on Github, the order to set this up does 
matter...hope this helps others out(open to feedback):

Instructions for the "terminal" challenged:

Using qTunnel: https://github.com/tasket/qubes-tunnel

In a Template do this:
For Debian proxy, add OpenVPN package to your VPN template(Fedora already has 
OpenVPN included):
su
apt-get install openvpn

Download and transfer file to VPN template: 
https://github.com/tasket/qubes-tunnel.git

cd “Then drag downloaded, unzipped file into terminal from tasket”
sudo bash ./install

sudo mkdir /rw/config/qtunnel

Close Template.

Create a proxy VM:
Create proxy AppVM using VPN template: sys-VPN
Colour: Green
Provides Network  Checked
connect to sys-net (or firewall)
Launch settings  - Checked

Settings:
Add “Files” and “Terminal” to “Applications” in ProxyVM
Add “qubes-tunnel-openvpn” to services, hit the +

Optional - Change config DNS(Quad9 DNS), by adding the text below to the VPN 
config file, then hit save:
setenv tunnel_dns '9.9.9.9 149.112.112.112’'

In terminal move VPN config files to new proxy AppVM:
sudo mv “Then highlight the VPN folder and drag to terminal” /rw/config/qtunnel

cd /rw/config/qtunnel
sudo ln -s xx.ovpn qtunnel.conf
(xx is the VPN client config)

sudo /usr/lib/qubes/qtunnel-setup --config
Enter VPN name and password

exit

Restart AppVM...look for “Links is up” pop-up


(Sorry if this is Top posting!)

[qubes-users] Re: VM Manager update / VMM setup for AppQube for web or mail only?

2018-08-04 Thread smcmj
I'll take a shot, also willing to learn more if I am missing something:

I would try to find the IP of the email provider if you are using a VM for 
email, e.g. Tutanota's IP address is: 81.3.6.162(no IMAP wit them), therefore 
my firewall settings for that VM would be:

IP: 81.3.6.162
Service: https (or port 443)
Protocol: TCP

Things I have learned about the firewall include:
1) You can type a port number into the service field vs just using whats in the 
"Services" dropdown selection
2) MXToolbox is a good tool to find an IP address of a website
3) I created a print VM that only allows access to my networked printer IP and 
the network printer's port. With this VM I can access only the printer. Maybe 
your vault uses this VM as its DVM. I don't trust printers in general but at 
least its restricted

For web only 443(https) and 80(http) are all that is needed for the most part. 
I believe ICMP(pings) and port 53(DNS) are allowed automatically. Open to being 
corrected? It would be nice to control the DNS more (Quad9 DNS resolver or 
OpenDNS). Not sure how to do this with ease.

For Thunderbird, you could research your email providers IP and change the 
"*"/ANY for the specific IPs or IP.

Google, Apple and others generally publish the ports needed for a service to 
work.

Qubes team I would agree this latest update is working like a charm and has 
improved Qubes Manager and the Fedora/Pulse Audio update problem I was having. 
Thank you again for the work!

Re: [qubes-users] Re: Updating Fedora 27 errors in Qubes 4.0?

2018-08-02 Thread smcmj
That seemed to workThx

As you said I did the following commands:

sudo dnf upgrade --allowerasing --best 

then reinstalled the packages that were to be removed by above command:

sudo dnf install qubes-vm-recommended...something, something
sudo dnf install pulse audio...something, something

I still get the pulseaudio error when I try to update via GUI but it appears as 
if the other packages were updated in the fedora 28 template.

After cloning the fedora 28 I still have a fresh template should this be 
resolved in the near future.

Thanks again for a workable solution...
