Linux

Debian-based and RedHat-based operating systems using NetworkManager are supported. Other systems may work, but have not been tested.

A directory ~/.joinnow/ will be created. This contains your certificate files. Do not delete these files or this directory.

Using a GUI application (such as nm-connection-editor or those built-in to your operating system's Settings or Preferences application) to edit the NetworkManager configuration is not recommended as they will silently remove settings configured by JoinNow. If you need to edit the settings of the NetworkManager configuration, please use nmcli.
