Qubes OS version (e.g., R3.2):

R4.0-rc1

Process

Created an AppVM based on fedora-25 with 'provides network' checked. Installed AirVPN client, selected sys-firewall as NetVM. Ran airvpn as sudo (wouldn't let me run as user). It connected to VPN server OK but very slow. Tried many alternative servers - same result.

Tried changing the netVM to sys-net - same problem.

Tried installing VPN in another AppVN - same problem.

Tried adding PCI devices such as network-manager in the VPN AppVM settings but that caused an error.

Added network-manager and meminfo-writer under services - no difference

The problem is definitely this installation and not Airvpn as everything works fine in R3.2 where I have the same setup.

Any ideas? Am I doing something wrong?

Not sure if this belongs logged as a bug; Qubes networking is not vanilla Linux and VPN provider custom scripts/clients AFAIK are not supported. This would be better addressed on qubes-users list.

@JPL1 My advice for now would be to use the Airvpn config generator then use that config with the Qubes VPN doc. The doc was written for Qubes 3.x, so when you create "qubes-firewall-user-script" save it as "qubes-ip-change-hook" instead. Of course, where it says "proxyVM" use an appVM that "provides network". This should get it running with Qubes-specific leak protection (which the Airvpn client probably doesn't provide, though I can't tell because its a compiled binary).

I can report that the problems do not occur on 4.0rc2. AirVPN works 'out of the box'
