I use the script to install. Went well.
Did sudo twingate setup. Went fine.
When I do twingate start, this is when things seem to go bad. The output looks fine:
~$ twingate start
Starting Twingate service
Twingate has been started; user authentication is required for access to Resources
Starting UI notifications
It looks like desktop notifications aren’t supported in your environment.
You can run /usr/bin/twingate-notifier console in order to receive
authentication requests from the Twingate service.
looks ok but:
~$ /usr/bin/twingate-notifier console
04:21:57 [ERROR] twingate_notifier::notifier::Notifier::start message process error: auth.sock socket is not found
04:22:02 [ERROR] twingate_notifier::notifier::Notifier::start message process error: auth.sock socket is not found
In the syslog, I got:
Jun 2 04:21:41 ip-172-31-50-23 twingate-cli[17454]: is_vpn_running err: No such file or directory (os error 2)
It seems like a directory was not created and it’s not handling it well. Since it does not output the directory it’s looking for, I don’t know what to create manually to get it working.
If neither of those solve your issues, and if you’re comfortable doing so, can you please upload the zip generated by running twingate report so we can see the full log output and dig deeper if necessary.

I was having a issue with twingate getting the same auth.sock error.
So story time.
I was running twingate no issues with 34/35/most of 36 Fedora. So one day just ran into the issue. I could not fix it for anything, uninstall/reinstalled/deleted files etc. So I just create a VM to run twingate in to continue to do my work. Then I decided I would upgrade to Fedora 37. Did that from the cli and it all went well, kinda. I notice upon reboot that it took about 5mins for my network to come up. Now being a upgrade I was thinking maybe a net driver issue. I’m using a HP Pavilion Desktop TP01-2xxx which is kinda of linux supported. Well I was looking around and thought I would run ‘nmcli connection show’ well let me tell you I was surprised. I saw hundreds (yes hundreds) of sdwan0 in connection name. I knew pretty much that was twingate as when I did ‘ip route’ the 100* ip would show up. Well I uninstalled twingate. I then remove hundreds of sdwan0 connections rebooted and bam! My network was fast to connect after I logged in. I then reinstalled twingate. Then I tested it. I did get the “We have detected that another VPN connection is active.” Which is odd as I did ip route and had all 192.168.*.* routes so not sure where it is getting that idea. But I said yes connect anyway. So far at this time the connection is working it is prompting for a long and I have pinged a system for 2 hours with no drops.
So my suggestion is do ‘twingate stop’, uninstall it, do ‘nmcli connection show’ if you see any connections of sdwan0-* remove them (all), then reboot. Reinstall twingate, try to log in.
