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.

      Yeah, no. As soon as I looked into this it requires subscription. Also, the GUI is suspiciously old. Like GNOME from 15+ years ago old.

        What? Having to pay to get a service? RIDICULOUS! Maybe try watching the trending section on YouTube and using the first promo code you see. I’m sure the advertising company that bought Nord VPN won’t share everything you torrent with anyone who asks.

          I admit that I screwed up somehow. I got eager and followed an old search result. Not sure how to fix that or if it is worth it.

      I’ve been using AirVPN for quite a while and they are reliable and very Linux-friendly. The Linux GUI (Eddie) is easy to use, too.
