@pfcouto Nowadays icedtea is no longer needed. Fedora does not let you install other more essential packages though. The setup is done in a 32-bit Debian chroot, do not worry about what Fedora allows or not.

@pfcouto As for the wget, the certificate of the mobile web portal is expired. My script https://github.com/ruyrybeyro/chrootvpn will download and install nonetheless. However extra steps have to be taken in the browser for opening that page.

Edit: was making here tests on the new just released Fedora 37, and my script installed everything for your vpnportal.

Hello @ruyrybeyro, can you help me out? Managed to get here using your script. However I don't know how to install certutil. I am on Fedora 37.

Previously I used vnp.sh -i --vpn=FQDN_DNS_name_of_VPN to configure. Right now I ran vnp.sh start opened https://localhost:14186/id, to be honest I don't know the point of opening it and then opened https://vpn.ipleiria.pt. I then get what I show in the picture. Can't say for sure that I did everything well, so if necessary walk me through all the steps, even the configuration ones please. Thanks!

After reloading the page (did NOT instal certutil, I can enter the site).

However it looks like I am and I am not connected. If i run ping 1.1.1.1 I don't get a response, which is normal, but if I try to connect to a VM (that is inside the school), or a website that is deployed in the school (therefore I need to use the vpn to access it) I can't

Hello @pfcouto , My script already installed all the components needed in a chroot, it was built for not having to deal with the snx/cshell requirements, which can't even be normally met nowadays in Fedora, for instance. Just visit https://localhost:14186 and accept the certificates. It is pretty unfortunate the mobile portal showing that message when self signed localhost certificates are not recognized by the browser. It was never my intention hijacking this thread, for doubs, requests and documentation I recommend any future people to visit my github at httts:// github.com/ruyrybeyro/chrootvpn

@pfcouto , I answered reading the email and not the edited version.

It seems DNS is not being resolved. I would recommend detailing the Linux distro, sending me a vpn.sh status, and a ls -la /etc/resolv.conf + a cat /etc/resolv.conf with the vpn on. please open an issue in my github or send me an email

As it is a DNS isssue, you can reach VMs via IP address. As for the site, it might depend on routing too.
