Community Rules

Follow the Code of Conduct

All posts on pop_os must adhere to the Pop!_OS community Code of Conduct. https://github.com/pop-os/code-of-conduct

Be helpful

Posts to pop_os must be helpful. When responding to a user asking for help, do not provide tongue-in-cheek responses like "RTM" or links to LMGTFY. Linking to direct sources that answer the asker's question is fine, but it's advised to provide some explanation as to how you got to that source.

Critique should be constructive

We within the Pop!_OS community welcome helpful criticism or ideas on ways to improve. However, basic "It's bad" or other simple negative comments don't help anyone fix anything. When voicing a complaint about something, try to point out ways the complaint could be improved or worked around, so that we can make a better product for it.

This rule applies to both Pop!_OS and its projects as well as other products available from third-parties.

Don't post malicious "advice"

It can be funny to joke about malicious commands, however this is not the venue for it. Do not advise users to run commands which will lock up their systems, steal their data, or erase their drive. Examples of this include (but are not limited to) fork bombs, rm, etc.

Posts violating this rule will be removed, even if the post is clearly in jest. Repeated offences may lead to a ban. You may understand that the command isn't serious, but a new user might not.

No personal attacks

Posts making a personal attack on any user will not be tolerated.

No hate speech

Hate speech of any kind will not be tolerated. Any violations will be removed, and are grounds for a ban.

VPN not working [SOLVED] (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I'm running Pop OS 22.04, everything updated. I've been trying to use Mullvad VPN, which I've installed using the latest .deb on their site, but as soon as I connect to a server I seem to lose internet access. It shouldn't be a problem with my network because the VPN works perfectly on my other devices, even with the same settings. I've also tried with other servers and other versions of the deb. Then I also tried with two other VPNs (Proton and RiseUp), neither of which worked.

At this point it has to be something with how the connection is configured on Linux. I've left everything as default.

Sounds like you might have a firewall issue. Check the status of ufw. sudo ufw status

Mullvad's app is excellent as far as VPN clients go. Normally I won't use them and prefer using a config like @slippers suggested or just use a router. However, Mullvad's app is the exception and works well on all my business machines with Pop!_OS. You should check the killswitch status. Another thing you could try is enabling "Quantum core". One of my staff was having issues and that bypassed whatever was happening. It's super quick as an added benefit.

Thank you, selecting Wireguard only and activating quantum tunnel fixed it!

Nice. I'm quite impressed by the quantum tunnel in both security and performance.
