If your ``debian-11 template based AppVm is set with NetVM to none, then you shiould get something like this on trying sudo apt update

Err:1 Index of /r4.1/vm/ bullseye InRelease
Temporary failure resolving ‘deb.qubes-os.org

Reading package lists… Done

W: Failed to fetch https://updates.signal.org/desktop/apt/dists/xenial/InRelease Temporary failure resolving ‘updates.signal.org
W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

But, if it’s the output is something like this

sudo apt update

16 packages can be upgraded. Run ‘apt list --upgradable’ to see them.

Then I suspect that it is a template you are talking about.
If you still claim it is AppVm, please describe how you created it, with commands, etc… Or try to create new one based on debian-11 template, switch the net to none, and try again

Sorry, @51liea, I didn’t see your post.
