This has been a long-standing issue. The base PR fixes the issue for Firefox, and apparently all other browsers will _not_ change your DNS server, only opportunistically enable DoH if it finds your current servers to support it.

## (VirtualBox VMs) Mounting the vboxsf share
|
|
|
|
Shared folders are a pain on Ubuntu 20.04.
|
|
|
|
Just use `ptth_file_server` on the host and `curl` in the guest. Let it loop through the LAN.

# Testing the Firezone Client on a Windows server VM
|
|
|
|
This assumes a Windows host. On macOS and Linux hosts, prefer UTM and qemu respectively.
|
|
|
|
## Prepare VM
|
|
|
|
1. Download and install Oracle VirtualBox <https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads>
|
|
1. Prepare a VM with 50 GB of hard drive, 2+ GB of RAM, and 2+ CPU cores (More resources will help Windows set up faster. We can reduce resources before testing Firezone)
|
|
|
|
## Download VM image
|
|
|
|
Download the 64-bit ISO from <https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/download-windows-server-2022>
|
|
|
|
(Server 2019 requires a sign-up: <https://info.microsoft.com/ww-landing-windows-server-2019.html>)
|
|
|
|
You should get this file: `SERVER_EVAL_x64FRE_en-us.iso`
|
|
|
|
The Windows license is valid for 180 days
|
|
|
|
## Install Windows Server
|
|
|
|
1. In VirtualBox, mount the ISO as a CD/DVD
|
|
1. Boot the VM and use F12, then 'c' to boot from CD/DVD
|
|
1. When Windows asks what version to install, choose "Windows Server 2022 Standard Evaluation (Desktop Experience)
|
|
1. Choose "Custom" to delete the old Windows install, if any, and re-install
|
|
1. If there's any partition from a previous install, delete and recreate it
|
|
1. Tell Windows to install on the primary partition
|
|
|
|
## Windows first-time config
|
|
|
|
1. Assuming the host has a strong password, set the guest's admin password to just `Password1!`
|
|
1. Allow the PC to be "discoverable by other PCs and devices on this network", this might be needed for Firezone to work
|
|
1. In the Server Manager, click "Manage", click "Server Manager Properties", check "Do not start Server Manager automatically at logon", and click "OK". Close Server Manager.
|
|
1. Make any quality-of-life changes you want such as fixing the taskbar
|
|
1. Open `https://ifconfig.net/` in Edge and clear out the Edge first-time setup
|
|
1. Run Windows Update
|
|
1. In the VirtualBox menu, click "Devices", click "Insert Guest Additions CD image", and then install the VirtualBox guest additions, so you can drag-and-drop files into the VM easily.
|
|
1. Perform a clean shutdown from within the Windows VM.
|
|
1. In VirtualBox, take a snapshot of the VM and name it "Before Firezone" so you can roll back to this state after installing Firezone.
|
|
|
|
## Testing Firezone
|
|
|
|
1. Copy-paste an MSI built from CI/CD into the VM and install Firezone
|
|
1. Test Firezone as usual
