From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

VPN is problematic on Fedora but just works on Ubuntu (lemmy.ml)

Hey folks

So my university wifi blocks almost all piracy and gaming related websites, and so far cloudflare warp+(not regular warp) is the only VPN that works.

I really prefer using Fedora to any other OS, but for the love of god warp+ never properly works on it. It does connect but drops the connection every few seconds so it's practically unusable. Spent a few hours scraping through the logs trying to find a solution but no good. With Ubuntu it just works, I've been using it for more than a week now and never got any issues. But I really don't like Ubuntu itself due to a bunch of reasons so I'd like to switch away if possible.

If anyone has any solutions, please let me know.

Good day!

Not related to warp, but just out of curiosity, which protocols have you tried? In one or two univs I visited, I had to switch to TCP instead UDP for it to work. Not sure why.
