Based on the experience that I (and other coworkers, including on other distros) had, whatever configurations our VPN needed did not seem to work out of the box on network manager.
- miki123211 2mo agoA lot of this is just weird Linux on the desktop weirdness. On Windows and Mac, VPN config is usually just installing a client, signing in, and then it all basically works. Sometimes you don't even need the client and can set it up in settings.
- saghm 2mo agoThose are pretty much all first-party clients though, right? I'm not sure that "some companies don't provide a Linux client for their software" is something I'd characterize as "Linux desktop weirdness". My point here is that Tailscale seems to have actually put time and effort into making a Linux client that's a breeze to use, whereas most of the other VPNs I've used for work have not.
