Hi

The problem is that those instructions assume you have something like a
normal desktop - and in Qubes you dont.

You can get to the same place by Left Clicking on the networkManager
applet in the top RH corner of the screen - (the red bar chart)
Then select VPN from the menu and away you go.

The Super key is sometimes called the Windows key, or (as Rusty Bird
calls it), "Side view of four qubes waving around, suggesting inter-qube
data flow"

[qubes-users] Newbie question on VPN

2017-04-07 Thread alle
Hi everybody,

I'm a bit lost on configuring a VPN VM. 
Manual says: create new ProxyVM with specs. Works all fine up to the point 
where it says: 
Set up your VPN as described in the NetworkManager documentation linked above.

The "above" manual says:

Procedure 2.3. Adding a New VPN Connection
You can configure a new VPN connection by opening the Network window and 
selecting the plus symbol below the menu.

Press the Super key to enter the Activities Overview, type control network 
and then press Enter. The Network settings tool appears. 

I'm lost about "where" not speaking of the "Super key". 
Acutally I don't get the logic. I assume that I should do that within the newly 
created ProxyVM, but it lacks a GUI. 

So please can someone try to help me out here. And please assume that I'm sort 
of computer literate, but reading some posts and also part of the manuals, 
sometimes it seems to me there are some basic preassumptions that I don't meet 
...

A.
