Qubes instructions do not work, require breaking firewall configuration

bug LOW

Hi Trezor team, I wanted to let you know that the instruction in your wiki fo…r Qubes OS no longer works. https://wiki.trezor.io/Qubes_OS These instructions will fail because, by default, AppVMs use sys-firewall for networking. Sys-firewall currently blocks the requests from being passed to the Trezor, and the Trezor is never detected. I've seen some guides that instruct the users to get around this by switching the AppVM to sys-net, but this removes the firewall from the VM and greatly increases the attack surface for the user. This is very dangerous and the exact opposite of why a user combines Qubes with Trezor for hardened endpoint security. I believe the solution involves creating rules in sys-firewall that allow the requests to be passed appropriately, but I haven't been able to find a solution yet.

I want to use Trezor with Qubes. I have tried pretty much everything, the closest I got to it working was installing Trezor Suite in debian APPVM which properly detects my Trezor and the name of it however I never get the “Select Wallet” pop up and it just keeps on loading

Someone please help me with that.
