Seriously. After using Proton Free for over a year I moved to SurfShark. No complaints except for the dumb name. They are cheap, effective, and fast enough.
Airvpn is fine, and also the cheapest option you’ll find with any real hope of protection, which is why people are recommending it. It can use openvpn or wireguard, which will work on fedora just fine. I’d personally recommend wireguard, because you can set it up to automatically connect using systemd.
Otherwise, you could try installing riseup’s client from the source, available at https://0xacab.org/leap/bitmask-vpn. It’s linked on their main site. Don’t know if you’ll have luck with that. You’ll likely have to manually install the dependencies.
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 see that they offer a debian package, see if you can get it working with DistroBox. I’ve seen another user get a VPN working that way, so this might help.
This is a step forward, but actually using DistroBox is confusing. I’m at the low end of an intermediate user here and don’t see a direct way to get the .deb pkg.
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.
There are effectively zero commercial VPN services that will permit P2P traffic on their free servers, because they would be instantly swamped if they did. The few that do permit it for free, you have to ask yourself how they’re paying for that bandwidth.
Using a free vpn is basicaly inviting the vpn service to your home and offering them to sell all your traffic and browsing data. It might be better to use no vpn at all over a free one. Remember - if it’s free, you are the product….

Firstly you should not be using riseup for this. They are a non profit collective and the feds have seized their servers before.
Use i2p if you want privacy. Otherwise go in with a few friends for a vpn and split the cost.

Pretty sure Proton has a free option, don’t know how fast it is though.
No P2P with free Proton.
None. Pay for your VPN.

AirVPN isn’t particularly fast but it gives you wireguard configuration so it runs on basically anything.
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.
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 gui? Its a wireguard or openvpn config file. Remember that if its free, you’re the product.
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.

You could also try tor.

It isn’t that I am unwilling to pay. I am incapable.
You could try I2p but but there is very little there and it is very slow. I would recommend I2p+ for easiest setup.

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?
I actually don’t know. It was a one and done snap install.
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.
only good free vpns are proton and windscribe and neither support p2p for free
Windscribe free doesn’t support P2P anymore? Hmm, that’s an interesting development.
I donmt think it does on the free plan but feel free to correct me if I am wrong

Linux is free… am I the product?
Totally different things. Linux is open source and community developed. A VPN no
free as in freedom not as free beer
Linux is also free as in beer.
I know, it was a joke. Apparently not a funny one.
It’s lemmy. Any attempts at humor or disagreements aren’t allowed
