Is there a way I can get a real time visualisation of the VM chaining , for example a Domain chaining through a firewall through a VPN and sys Network ?

Not that I'm aware of. This feature has been discussed and requested
before, and I seem to recall someone saying they might try making one,
but I don't know whether anything ever came of it.

Technically, qvm-ls provides this, but it may not be what you have in
mind.

Hi Andrew,

Nice little script.
Any chance you can give it option to set the colour as text colour instead of background colour?
Very hard on the eyes with coloured background. I think that coloured text would be more beneficial, but that's just my personal opinion, but it would be nice.

Sincerely,
Drew.

Thanks for the reminder about that, Jean-Philippe!

And thank you to Zrubi and Andrew for developing these useful tools.
I've added a tracking issue to see about integrating one of these into

for seeing network connections i use etherape. But i don't run it in sys-firewall, which would show which vm making the connection, cause I feel it unsafe. but nice thing about qubes safe to use in sys-net, not as detrimental.
