Hi, a few week ago i’m try to install Fedora 41 replace the Manjaro before to be my daily driver. But i have problem to using VPN connection espescally for PPTP service. Thankfully i found the answer from the forum and i want to share to you all.

Add PPTP to Firewalld

sudo firewall-cmd --add-service=gre --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload

The gre is part of pptp service, i get this from the forum because before i add service pptp but the firewall can’t find the service. After you add gre service you can try to turn on your VPN again !
