[qubes-users] Unsure about network device attachment to VMs

2019-09-14 Thread Anil Eklavya
I am reinstalling Qubes, but I am not sure how to which devices to attach to sys-usb and which to sys-net. Earlier the network devices were directly attached to sys-usb and sys-usb was providing the network. This is the setting my new install started with. I am trying to avoid getting network

[qubes-users] What does Qubes backup save?

Can someone clarify exactly what all does Qubes Backup save and restore? To me this is important because I am fairly sure my Qubes installation has been compromised, if not at dom0, then certainly for some VMs, including sys-net (which includes sys-usb). Most probable reason is Evil Maid Attack

A better way to backup and restore will make Qubes much more usable, preferably at some point using something like rsync, as they have already been considering. This is one crucial feature that makes it difficult for common users to use this OS as a default. > On 04-Jan-2020, at 3:08 PM,

Thanks for putting all this information in one place. I was earlier looking to buy Insurgio Privacy Beast, but it was not clear whether it could be shipped to India. I then ordered Librem 13. Is there any comparison available between these two, based on privacy and security considerations?
