VPN not working with Fedora 34

[shiftedreality]

Hi there,

after I updated to Fedora 34, all my VPN-service-qubes are not connecting anymore. With Fedora 33 they worked without any problems. I used https://github.com/tasket/Qubes-vpn-support to create several qubes working with Mullvad VPN. Whats’s wrong?

Hi. Welcome to the forum!
I raised the same issue here:

Fedora-34 issues with sys-net and vpn VM

I installed fedora-34-minimal, updated it, and installed in it the basic software that I had in fedora-33-minimal (qubes-core-agent-networking qubes-core-agent-network-manager iptables openvpn pciutils vim-minimal less psmisc iproute qubes-core-agent-dom0-updates NetworkManager-wifi network-manager-applet wireless-tools qubes-input-proxy-sender qubes-usb-proxy). Then I switched sys-net, sys-firewall and vpn VM templates from fedora-33-minimal to fedora-34-minimal template. sys-net failed to boo…

I haven’t gotten an answer and wasn’t able to fix it while keeping Fedora.
I switched the VM Template to debian-11 (and installed OpenVPN in the template) for the VPN to work again. Also, I failed to get the VPN to work in debian-11-minimal despite installing all packages possible.
Switching to debian-11 could be a temporary solution until a fix is found.

Thank you! I’ll try that
