I know the default answer, don't double nat, but in this case what I'm
doing is that I have a wireless travel router with WISP and I am using it
to create my own private & secured network behind a public network.
Web browsing works fine but when I try to perform a "dnf update" I get a
"Error: Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'updates'."
Since it's simple download, i,e, not a complicated connection like a VPN. I
don't know why it wouldn't work, but it apparently does not.
Ideas?
Thanks,
Richard

A) Are you using a proxy? If so, have you added the appropriate config
lines to /etc/dnf/dnf.conf (proxy IP, username, password)?
B) Have you tried "dnf clean all" before trying the upgrade? You may
have some bad cached data.

Need to double check that, I did setup a squid proxy on my desktop but I'm
not sure if I have the laptop setup to use it or not... Good idea.

Nope, as soon as I switched back to my home network it worked fine. I think
(A) may be the problem.

Just to confirm, I did have the laptop setup to use the squid proxy on my
desktop so that was indeed the cause of the problem.

Glad you got that sorted out.
Just for the sake of completeness on the thread, how did you resolve it?
Did you add the lines to dnf.conf to access your proxy properly?

There's not a good way... Ideally DNF would skip the proxy if not available
but there doesn't appear to be an option for that so I just comment out the
proxy option in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf when I'm outside of my home network.

Ah. Well, you could create a second conf file, say
/etc/dnf/dnf-noproxy.conf
that doesn't have the proxy lines and use:
dnf -c /etc/dnf/dnf-noproxy.conf [options] <command>
to use it outside your network. Inside your network, the standard
dnf [options] <command>
would use the default conf file (with the proxy lines).

If you're going to be using that fairly often, add this to .bashrc:
alias dnp=dnf -c /etc/dnf/dnf-noproxy.conf
That way you won't have to remember the exact path to the config file.

Good point, Joe.

Yes, I would love to have it work that way. I've been considering how
hard it would be to make a dnf plugin to do that.
