Do not you agree? That's very similar to what I experienced, but in fact it did turn out to be a combination of the firewall and the VPN. See the (long) thread at: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/thread/5TR4J7KU77ZRHHMWXCOYGNQ2HFPPGZA4/ Of course your case may be completely different, but it's worth checking your firewall settings just in case. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 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@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
