“Set up a ProxyVM as a VPN gateway using iptables and CLI scripts” does not work anymore

[qubesfan35267]

Hi,

since I moved to fedora-34 in 4.1-rc1 my vpn-qube does not work anymore. I set it up in fedora-30 according to Contents/vpn.md at master · Qubes-Community/Contents · GitHub “Set up a ProxyVM as a VPN gateway using iptables and CLI scripts” and used it through fedora-30 to fedora-33. With fedora-34 it seems to be broken.
Funny thing is, it was working with debian-11…after I installed a bunch of software in that template it did not work anymore as well…

Any ideas or a better way to set up a vpn-qube with fedora-34 or debian-11 in 4.1-rc1.

Best regards

What that means is: it will enforce the firewall se…

here the example is using debian

why not just get a fresh debian template, and re-do the vpn script, if you have the space for it to problem solve
