Hello there, I realized that everytime I made a new Qubes VM, I have been checking the "provides network" option turning it into a NetVM.
I mistakenly believed that the option of "provides network" meant that the VM would need connectivity (yeah, I didn't RTFM), so now they are all NetVMs... hehe

It would be cumbersome to delete them all and start over, so I was wondering which commands I could use to block such functionality turning it effectively into an AppVM.

Thanks in advance!

Or 'qvm-prefs myvm provides_network false' in dom0 terminal.
