Basically the title. RiseUp VPN doesn’t want to work here (though if someone can help me get it going, that would be awesome), and I don’t have the cash on hand to even do a risky free trial that I might forget about.

Perfect is the enemy of good for me here. I’ve used RiseUp exclusively since I swapped to Linux, but now that I’m on a Fedora based install, that vpn does not want to play nice.

    What VPN protocol are you using? Shouldn’t be too different between distros. That is unless you’re using their exclusive app that may be on one distro but not the other.

      Nothing specific right now. I’m just trying to get some protection. I’ll do what it takes!

        Yeah, but what were you using with RiseUp that was working on Debian but not on Fedora? OpenVPN? Wireguard? PPTP? SSH sock?

            Yeah, I wouldn’t use snap package of the vendor-specific app to avoid possible vendor lock-in like this (among many reasons).

            Try to find a more standard way to connect. OpenVPN and WireGuard would be some of the most pleasant to work with.
