[Qubes 4.0] Updating debian-9 template fails

[p.o.m...@gmail.com]

Hello,

I recently migrated from Qubes 3.2 to 4.0 and it appears that the networking for all the template VMs is shut off by default.

To update the default debian-9 template, I turned networking on and attached it to sys-firewall. But when I run the template, it appears that I can't connect out to sys-net or to the outside world (any ping fails). Is this a configuration bug?

(In the meantime, how do I change the firewall to break through?)

Thanks,
- Paul M

TL;DR version- templates don't need networking to update in 4.0.

This appears to have been fixed when I changed over the updateProxy value (which I brought up in another thread). So everything here seems to work now.
