You're onto it.  I think I fixed this yesterday:

Quick-reading you link I dont think that this is the issue. My 
obervation is that it happens after several hours/days of a flawlessly 
working ProxyVM, not at boot.

[qubes-users] How to solve ProxyVM (sys-firewall) becomming non-functional at runtime

2016-10-11 Thread Robert Mittendorf

Hey folks,

sometimes the sys-firewall (more likely a service within it) crashes and 
does no longer allow connected VMs to resolve DNS.
The ProxyVM must be the responsible entity, because the connection will 
be fine again If I restart the sys-firewall.
Restarting the ProxyVM is tedious, as you cannot simple restart it when 
running (App)VMs are attached. You have to change the NetVM setting of 
every running connected AppVM (or shut them down) in order to restart 
the sys-firewall.


This does not happen very often, just once, twice a month - but is there 
a less tedious way to fix this?
like a shell command to restart the corresponding service in the 
sys-firewall?


One could use an intermediate proxy, so you have to change only the 
NetVM of a single connected "App"VM - but what if the same problem 
occurs with that additional ProxyVM


What is the problem with restarting a connected ProxyVM anyway? Yes, 
there should be a warning - but it should be possible to bypass this 
warning I think.


thanks for reading,
Robert
