VPN is problematic on Fedora but just works on Ubuntu

Hey folks

So my university wifi blocks almost all piracy and gaming related websites, and so far cloudflare warp+(not regular warp) is the only VPN that works.

I really prefer using Fedora to any other OS, but for the love of god warp+ never properly works on it. It does connect but drops the connection every few seconds so it's practically unusable. Spent a few hours scraping through the logs trying to find a solution but no good. With Ubuntu it just works, I've been using it for more than a week now and never got any issues. But I really don't like Ubuntu itself due to a bunch of reasons so I'd like to switch away if possible.

If anyone has any solutions, please let me know.

Good day!

I am not sure if this works, but it might be worth a try, see if you can install Warp+ trough a Ubuntu Distrobox instance on your Fedora system.

Again, I have no idea if this will work.
- Seems it does indeed work with root-level containers.
  
  Thanks!
  
  Glad I was able to help!
- My thought exactly
Use wgcf instead of the main warp app.
- Thank you!
Not related to warp, but just out of curiosity, which protocols have you tried? In one or two univs I visited, I had to switch to TCP instead UDP for it to work. Not sure why.
Not really helping here but debian testing is basically a rolling release distro and it's stable enough for a normal user.

I switched from nobara to debian because my kde plasma didn't work (the config was wrecked so it didn't work on debian too).
