Hey! Ive just got Fedora 39 on my PC. I’m new into Linux, but I liked the way Fedora looks and so on. But as a former windows user, I was glad to use Proton VPN. On windows it just worked well, and my local Broadcaster homepage didn’t notice that I was using, Secure Core, via example Switzerland though a server in my country. But now, when I use Proton VPN in fedora, the broadcaster notice that my internet goes via another country, and dosnt let me whatch. I juse the App I found on Flatpak. Is there something I should investigate more , of some easy tweaks to make it work well again?

    Yeah but vpn servers get blacklisted way too often. You’re going to need to download a new config everytime

      Personally never ran into this. And if I did, downloading an archive full of configuration files takes 10 seconds and adding a new connection takes no longer. Not a big deal imo.

          True. I made a bash script for that, and it runs on boot. Super easy and seamless.

          I like having a visual method, and having it in my connections menu makes the most sense to me. But fair point, the CLI route is quickest.

            Protonvpn also has a gui though. I mean I think having the openvpn setup has some advantages since some systems might not be natively supported or don’t have the need for changing servers, however, I’ve tried using that on my personal devices and it just wasn’t for me.

              Hey fair enough, to each their own. I like my method because it feels ‘native’ to the given DE, like it was included by default. I’ve used multiple gui apps from different providers, don’t really miss any features they had that my method doesn’t.
