Latest revision as of 18:58, 29 June 2026

What you need

A 44Net Portal account
A verified amateur radio callsign
A configuration file from 44Net Connect
A device running Fedora Linux
Some sort of Internet access

If you haven't set up your Portal account or verified your callsign yet, see 44Net: Get Started for instructions. If you haven't obtained a WireGuard tunnel configuration file from 44Net Connect, get one using the the 44Net Connect quick start guide

Install Dependencies

Step 1: Ensure your OS is up to date

Update your system packages using either your GUI tool of choice, or by opening a terminal and running sudo dnf update && sudo dnf upgrade.

Step 2: Install wireguard

Run sudo dnf install wireguard-tools.

Step 3: Verify that systemd-resolved is enabled

systemd-resolved comes installed by default on Fedora. Ensure that it's running by executing systemctl status systemd-resolved in your terminal. If the unit is running without issues, there will be a green circle at the top left. The second line, beginning with "Loaded," should indicate that the unit is enabled. If it's not, run systemctl enable systemd-resolved to enable the unit. This will ensure that the unit starts automatically when your Fedora machine boots from now on.

The third line, beginning with "Active," should indicate that the unit is active (running). If it's not, run systemctl start systemd-resolved to start the unit. This will ensure that the unit is currently running.
