Re: [qubes-users] why was DNS/ICMP removed from Qubes manager/firewall in R4?

Hopefully one day they revert it back to how it was in 3.2. A very common use-case for the firewall is likely to ensure things like DNS requests do not happen through the normal means (and instead go over something like Tor or a VPN). Unfortunately, the current config does not make it very
