Linux Client crashes on Fedora 40 if the disk is encrypted

Last updated: April 3, 2026

Applicable to

  • Twingate Component: Client 
  • Platform: Linux
  • OS: Fedora Linux 40 (encrypted)

Overview

After successfully installing the Twingate Client on a freshly installed and encrypted Fedora 40 system, the Client does not start. It is important to understand in this context that by default, this version of Fedora will be encrypted.

Cause

There is a known incompatibility of the Twingate Client with openssl version 3.2.1, which was introduced in Fedora 40.

Workaround

This has been reported to our developer team and we are looking into potential solution.

At this time, the only known workaround is downgrading to the openssl version 3.1.1 from Fedora 39, the command will be:

sudo dnf downgrade --releasever=39 openssl-libs
