 I've come to the conclusion that attempting to change the terminology
 for VM types was a mistake. People are getting confused and
 referring to
 "network-providing appVM" in the generic is awkward at best --
 especially if you are merely describing or referring to VMs instead of
 giving instructions on creating them.

In that case, I certainly agree. Calling it "provides network" is
clearly an attempt to accommodate new users who don't know what a
ProxyVM is, but there's no reason to confuse experienced users by
removing *all* mention of ProxyVM, when we can accommodate both groups
by simply calling it "provides network (ProxyVM)".

If I understand correctly, it's not merely a terminological change.
Rather, there is simply no longer such a thing as a "ProxyVM" in Qubes
4.0, where a "ProxyVM" is understood to be a VM that has the inherent
property of proxying network access. Instead, "provides network" is a
switchable property can apply (or not) to *any* VM. You can flip the
switch on to make a VM play the role of a ProxyVM (and/or a NetVM?),
then switch it off again later, and it'll still be the same VM. At any
rate, that's what I gather from this comment from Marek:

https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1763#issuecomment-188786341


Except VMs internally still use the proxyVM term in /var/run/qubes for 
example. Its how my VPN code makes decisions about where+what to run.


I'd vote for adding (ProxyVM) in parentheses to the "provides network" 
label (not tooltip) in the create dialog.

[qubes-users] Proxy VM option missing upon creating a new VM !

2018-08-25 Thread odindva0101
Hey guys ,

I am using version R 4.O and recently decided to set up a new Vpn connection .
But when I try to select the type is only giving me AppVM and Standalone option 
so obviously I can't move forward . I am attaching picture of it so you can see 
it youself : https://imgur.com/a/xTmpUDX .
If annyone can point me to what's wrong will be great.

Much appreciated
