I didn't stop firewalld, but iptables with and without the VPN show no difference. Hypothesis: the problem occurs when the guests start *after* the VPN daemon is running (it comes up at boot time), but if I start the guests first then it works. I'll try and get round to testing this when I have time. > Also, it would be helpful to actually name the commercial VPN which may warn > others about > the pitfall.

Indeed, but for most people that would be a long list. > The other thing that I'd question would be: If you'd made no changes why then > did the > problem arise?

Both libvirt-libs and the ExpressVPN rpm date from last October. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
