Create containers

lxc launch ubuntu:20.04 jfw -p jfw
lxc launch ubuntu:20.04 jclient1 -p jclients

Disable resolved

sudo systemctl disable systemd-resolved.service
sudo systemctl stop systemd-resolved
rm /etc/resolv.conf
echo "nameserver <mynamserver>" > /etc/resolv.conf

apt install dnsmasq

/etc/dnsmasq.conf

restart service

systemclt restart dnsmasq

Sniff traffic if wanted

sudo tcpdump -nnpli j

Alternate container create/apply

lxc init ubuntu:20.04 jfw
lxc init ubuntu:20.04 jclient1
lxc profile apply jfw jfw
lxc profile apply jclient1 jclients

Start containers

lxc start jfw
lxc start jclient1
