Instructions: Connecting to eduVPN on Linux Systems
It is recommended to use the Deb or RPM package to install the eduVPN Linux client. You can also install using Pip from PyPi or directly from GitHub. EduVPN distributes packages for Fedora using RPM and for Debian and for Ubuntu using Deb.
|
Currently we only provide x86_64 packages for RPM and DEB (we use the compiled dependency). If you want to install the client on ARM64, use the Pip installation method. |
Installation Using a Script
eduVPN provides a script that makes installation easy. This script works on platforms for which official packages are available, i.e. Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora and CentOS.
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 https://docs.eduvpn.org/client/linux/install.sh -O
bash ./install.sh(On Debian/Ubuntu systems, you must first install Curl using the command sudo apt update && sudo apt install curl. Fedora systems have Curl installed automatically.)
Manual Installation
For manual installation, follow the instructions on the eduVPN website for your Linux distribution.

The screen with profiles selection on the picture may not be shown to users with only one available profile, as it is chosen automatically.
The VPN connection via the chosen profile can be activated and deactivated by clicking the switch. By clicking it, you can also choose a different profile.
In the bottom under the Connection info tab, you can find information about the current connection.
Please only use the VPN connection for as long as necessary.

If you can't connect, see the list of common problems. Also remember to set up your firewall correctly to allow VPN connections, i.e. UDP port 443 and TCP port 443.
