I mean, I want some VM's to not automatically go through tor, as they do now.
During install there was an experimental option to use tor for everything, even updates.

in Qubes VM Manager select View > NetVM if it is not selected. Then you
can easily see the networking status of all your qubes. Change them as
you desire (right-click, VM Settings > NetVM).

Then in Qubes VM Manager go to System > Global Settings and change the
system defaults to whatever you want -- specifically for UpdateVM,
default netVM.

The installation option does not lead Qubes to "use tor for everything",
it just makes your default netvm sys-whonix for newly created
qubes/AppVMs and makes sys-whonix the netvm of templates. Whenever you
create a new qube / AppVM you can still select what you want the
networking to be.

If you selected Qubes to create default qubes like personal, banking,
untrusted, vault, these all come with non-torified networking
(sys-firewall x 3, and none respectively).

The language/description in the installer could be improved, the
relevant issue is here:

That makes sense. Thanks!
