Hi,

I wrote a blog post [0] explaining the steps required to move all the DNS calls
to any secure DoH server using Tor (to keep the calls anonymized). Here I am
modifying sys-firewall as the primary netwvm for the other AppVMs.

Thanks Kushal!

I was using your setup successfully until changing the template from fedora 32 to fedora 33. Unfortunately, I cannot figure out why it stopped working. Switching back to fedora 32 works again.

Any ideas?

Read the announcement about the Fedora33 template, and you'll see a
specific section on the handling of DNS, I think.

to add a .lan suffix.

2) Another suggestion is https://www.zeit.de/wirtschaft/2021-02/einfamilienhaeuser-klimaschutz-debatte-eigenheim-gruene-

to disable systemd-resolved and enable NetworkManager.

I can't imagine how 1) would help with that setup. Are there suggestions how to accomplish 2)?
