If I understand correctly, permanently changing /etc/resolv.conf in the ProxyVM to show: nameserver 208.67.222.222 nameserver 208.67.220.220 should achieve that in a standalone ProxyVM. Were it a TemplateBasedVM, you could have /rw/config/rc.local copy a file containing the above two lines to /etc/resolv.conf on boot (replacing /etc/resolv.conf), then call /usr/lib/qubes/qubes-setup-dnat-to-ns. I haven't tested this myself on a standalone ProxyVM. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
