I have recently set up a vpn gateway qube according to the instructions as listed here <https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/vpn/>. I have now gone to set up the MAC Anonymization and have a question and a problem both.

Firstly the linked page wrote specifically not to include the network manager. But at the same time the page on anonymizing the MAC address says that you must begin by installing the network manager. Is this safe to do?

There are two main setup options in that VPN doc: The first one tells you to enable Network Manager in the VPN VM. The second one is script-based and tells you not to enable NM in the VPN VM.

The "don't include NM" part refers only to setting up the VPN VM, which is separate from sys-net. In other words, the VPN instructions don't affect sys-net, so you can keep using NM (in sys-net) after you setup your VPN.


The second is that I only have NetworkManager 1.16.4. When I try to update or reinstall with sudo dnf install NetworkManager I get

Package NetworkManager-1:1.16.4-1.fc30.x86_64 is already installed.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!

Nothing wrong there. 1.16 is a much later version than the minimum 1.4.2 listed in the doc.
