ProtonVPN not installing on Fedora 38
I have Fedora 38 and I want to install protonVPN. I followed the guide and downloaded the respective rpm package but when I try to install it or update dnf I receive this error:
Code:
ProtonVPN Fedora Stable repository 0.0 B/s | 0 B 00:00 "The error message you're receiving indicates a problem with the SSL certificate for the ProtonVPN repository. More specifically, the error "SSL certificate problem: self-signed certificate in certificate chain" suggests that there's a self-signed certificate somewhere in the certificate chain, which is generally considered insecure and can't be verified. Here are a few possible solutions: 1. **Verify Your System Time**: An incorrect system time can cause SSL errors. Check to make sure your system time is accurate. 2. **Try Disabling SSL Verification Temporarily**: This isn't recommended for long-term solutions because it can leave your system vulnerable. But, for a quick fix or to see if SSL verification is the issue, you can try this. You'll need to modify your DNF configuration file to disable SSL verification. Here's how: Open the DNF configuration file in a text editor with root permissions. For example, you can use `sudo` with `nano` like this: ```bash sudo nano /etc/dnf/dnf.conf ``` Then, add or modify the `sslverify` line to be `False`: ```bash sslverify=False ``` Save and exit the file. Then try running `sudo dnf update` again. Remember to set `sslverify` back to `True` once you're done to keep your system secure. 3. **Contact ProtonVPN Support**: If none of the above solutions work, there might be an issue with the repository or the certificate that ProtonVPN needs to fix. Reach out to their support for help. Remember, solution 2 is not recommended for long-term use as it disables SSL verification, which can leave your system vulnerable. It's primarily a troubleshooting step to help determine where the issue is coming from." How can I address this? |
The website may be updating... I know I've waited a day or 2.
you could have a look inside the package, see what's changed and what may cause a non-read. Some packages are like a zip archive, and can be unpacked to a folder. There you can inspect the changes... (by date?) |

I GET THE SAME ERROR AGAIN:
Code:
[main@fedora ~]$ sudo dnf install mongodb-org |

The website referenced is up now, and works fine for me; installation steps for Fedora: https://protonvpn.com/support/offici...ux-vpn-fedora/ The second problem is totally different...because it's a different website/repository, which could be down right now. Mongo DB has nothing to do with Proton VPN, and the URL you have for that repository is incorrect; just going to the base of https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat shows that there IS no such path. The how-to guides are at least a year old, and have warnings on them that the information is deprecated, and will be removed. Most up to date: https://computingforgeeks.com/instal...centos-fedora/ The protonvpn 'error' is only telling you that it's a self-signed certificate. |

How you install it is by following the instructions on the Proton VPN website; step by step. You got three different things to try; again, did you try them? You can disable SSL, but again I am NOT getting an SSL issue today. Did you refresh your repositories? What, exactly, did you type in to try to install things??? Restating "I got this error" tells us nothing new; you've been asked things to help us try to help you, but haven't answered. |

The time is correct as per date so it is not a date/time issue. EDIT: I think it has something to do with the RPM, keys and certifications. I Think I have the wrong key or certification?? If so how would I fix that? |

I typed in what I Had to to install it that is "dnf uand "dnf clean-all" and "dnf update -y" and "dnf check-update". I keep getting the errors. I mean from what I typed do you have any idea what it could be? I downloaded the RPM from an email that was sent to me and this is why I need protonVPN because the internet I have is limited and secured. I shouldn't do the SSL route because it won't fix the problem over all because as with mongodb repo, I think all 3rd party repo's are going to be buggy. WHAT SHOULD I TYPE?I Will keep working on this and other task through out the day and get back to you... https://discussion.fedoraproject.org...f-update/74735 This also occurred here. |
Code:
[main@fedora ~]$ sudo dnf update --refresh |
I just uninstalled fedora and installed vanilla os because this is too hard for me. THank you for trying though.
