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?

    Don’t use Flatpak etc for VPNs, it’s limited, insecure and pointless.

    It’s highly likely that the Flatpak version is not routing your DNS queries, thus leaking your location. I wouldn’t be surprised if other traffic is being leaked as well.

    Since you’re on normal Fedora, just use the normal app (.rpm): https://protonvpn.com/support/official-linux-vpn-fedora/. Don’t use the CLI version though, as it’s still on the old version (v3).
