Hello,

I read lot of things about VPN in Qubes OS.

I have mount a standalone VM with client VPN installed. This VPN VM connect to 
the network with sys-firewall.

Others VM connect them directly on this VM VPN.

So, AppVM connect to Netvm Standalone VM VPN connect to Netvm Sys-Firewall

It's good or not for security ? Maybe the VM VPN bypass the sys-Firewall ?


In practice, you won't see any difference between these configurations unless you have placed special rules _inside_ sys-firewall (in the /rw/config dir):

sys-vpn -> sys-firewall -> sys-net

sys-firewall -> sys-vpn -> sys-net

sys-vpn -> sys-net

The reason is that sys-vpn uses "provides network" and is thus a proxyVM just like sys-firewall; if you add firewall rules to your appVMs, they should be processed the same way in either sys-firewall or sys-vpn. As a result, sys-vpn can perform both vpn and firewall functions. If you consider sys-vpn's role to be trusted and low-risk, then the third example can accomplish the same thing as the first two while consuming less memory and CPU.
