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!

    I’m not familiar with warp+ but having used Mullvad VPN with most distributions I’d say to see if it supports OpenVPN or Wireguard configurations. That way you can talk directly to NetworkManager or the respective vpn program.

    Perhaps Fedora does not have a unique package dependency that Ubuntu has since Fedora is heavily oriented toward systemD and selinux for most system tasks that may be handled by different packages on Ubuntu/Debian distributions. Warp+ may be designed in a way that only expects a ubuntu/debian derivative distro.

    I’d try consulting cloudflare customer support for more guidance and to see if they can replicate the issue on their end.
