awesome ty!
Is there an known issue with the room Jumpbox? Only port 22 shows as open even after waiting for over 20mins after starting the Box.
Which ports have you scanned?
no ctf today?
I scanned with nmap -p- (All) and also with -Pn but only port 22 ssh shows as open.
okay then that might be hard to get into unless you can guess a password login
Still got 42 min(s)
I done it and got 3.
I'll start the box again and try again. I tried twice this morning.
Still only showing port 22? ||sudo nmap -sVC -T4 -vv -p- -oA nmap/tcp-all 10.10.144.15||
I would like to ask about tmux, something related to the clipboard. Can I ask here?
This is for TryHackMe site-related issues, please use #general or #infosec-general :)
Ok
hello can you help me
You'll need to tell us before we can answer if we can, or not.
I haven't logged into my account for a long time I forgot my password and email
My username is TheEagleClaw
ooh... oh noes
can i know my e-mail address
Just be patient. π
i solved my problem
Hello, i'm on the room "privilege escalation" and i need to do wget as it is asked but it just wont work. All walkthrought did it but for me i get a time out
Oh okay thanks
Gave +1 Rep to @gray loom
Can you be more specific about the problem?
Yeah my phone removed the 2 factor ID to login and because of that I cannot login
And I cant download a new app
That sounds like an issue that actual THM support may be able to help with.
This is a community discord and not an official support vector, please email support@tryhackme.com
ok and how long will that take
As long as the queue is. I think the average time right now is 3-5 days, but I do not know for sure.
Oh Jesus Noooo that is ridiculus
If I did that to a customer I would be fired the same day
well tryhackme is still a small company so they only have a single person working on customer support email
Yeah that would not be an excuse in my book hello you cannot do that in the real world
my boss does not take No for a Answer he will make a call and have you replaced the same day.
Your boss can do that, because you report to them. THM is run differently.
Good thing he's not the boss at THM then
everyone at some point has someone to answer too
And, complaining about it here isn't a valid path to getting support from the THM support team; some of them spend their free time on non-working hours here but staff isn't the same thing as support.
Again, if you are having problems with 2FA the support email address is the only way I know of to open the ticket to get help.
ok and thats who I emailed Ok your obviously no help
Correct. I am a community volunteer, not site support.
I'm not the one acting like I'm doing someone else a favor by asking a question
You asked a question, and I gave you the information you asked for in a way that is as un-ambiguous and difficult to misinterpret as I possibly could. What more would you look for in a response?
You need to learn patience and respect for people's time, everyone here is a volunteer, and you've gotten answers to every question you've asked so far
I appreciate what you're trying to say, but you are coming close to mini-modding; if you think someone is crossing a line please ping one of online and we'll step in if available π
ok look all I am doing is asking for help I am not trying to start anything
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to try and mod, it was my personal opinion as a member, I'll step away π
this is just frustating
No worries, it's fine to voice your opinions on things, just try not to sound like you are telling someone what to do. You didn't cross the line, just got close to it. Friendly reminder and all that
Completely understandable, I appreciate all you do.
Can you send a QR code for me to get back into THM
If anyone sends you a QR code, please don't open it. There's some account stealing using that vector going on.
Ok well the email respsonse I got is it will take 1-3 days before I hear anything and sorry but that is very dissapointing so guess when I finally get my account back I will just cancel my subscription with THM I can't believe this cant be resolved I am paying for this.
Hey juun great job I love the customer service here thanks
Gave +1 Rep to @broken bear
Is there no other way to login THM
Ok if your not going to respond I will contact my bank and have them cancel any more payments to this site.
I think you have been thoroughly explained how to go about your issue. If you can not accept the fact that it might take a little bit, that's on you.
With that being said, please stop any further rants about that.
You know what who are you ok I am a paying customer if this is how you do business then it is your fault I am not the one who caused this and if you worked were I do you would be unemployed

Is anyone else having trouble connecting through US-West-VIP-1? I'm running openvpn with sudo. I'm all updated. I've regenerated my VPN config file. I've verified internet connectivity as well. Attached is the error I'm getting when trying to connect.
I've also tried switching to an EU VPN server with the same results.
Google-fu pays off again. If anyone else is having this issue you probably recently installed updates. This link has your fix!

!vpnscript
I'm facing the same issue bro
Look at my next post π found the issue
thnks sir! got fixed
Mine has actually been really stable. Usually I'm getting a disconnect every 10 minutes or so. Dunno if they fixed something, or my internet decided to quit being terrible.
This one was on me. I updated my Kali VM which changed my OpenVPN version. That was the issue.
where is support team?they arw not replying from last 3 days . the team is so careless. even i mailed many times but i did not a single reply from them .my subscription is deactivated from last 10 days without any prior notice .now my patience is over . i can not wait more .
why i can't !veify
Your message could not be delivered. This is usually because you don't share a server with the recipient or the recipient is only accepting direct messages from friends. You can see the full list of reasons here: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360060145013
Very likely that you have disabled direct messages in the privacy settings for this server
oh
Sorry, you already have a token on this account.
how to fix this i have a account here before and i deleted.so i create new one can i link?
We would have to unlink your token first. DM me please
done
!vpnscript
Hi, does anyone know what might be wrong when I open the https://tryhackma.com/my-machine and get a 404? I am having a subscription and understand that I can have a personal machine then. But that is not working.
That page is deprecated unfortunately
Oh, ok. and is there any other option, or is the overall feature deprecated?
The attackbox is the my-machine page.
you mean the split screen?
Yes, there is a button to make it pop out and be full screen.
ah, ok. But it is stateless, right?
Hey all, anyone know if when in the AttackBox Terminal, how to quickly split the terminal horizontal or vertical? shortcut keys for MS Windows?
?
does data that I created stay on that machine? I see that I always restart the machine from day to day
No.
It never has done.
When you close the machine, it will go back to the state it was booted up in.
ok, I my perception was that it does with "my-machine"
and is there a ISO image for local installation that contains all test data such as wordlists etc that we have on that machine?
No, THM won't give that out.
so that I could run my machine locally in vm mode?
As it's theirs, and constantly updated.
ok. Thanks @weary spindle !
Gave +1 Rep to @weary spindle
You could get an ubuntu iso and create that.
If you need a wordlist or so from the attackbox, you can do so with a python server.
yeah, I already created my Kali machine. But found out that for some rooms I am missing data in /var/...
ah, ok. So giving access to the attachbox via http you mean? Do wget the files?
Yeah. π
π thanks π
way too many rooms in tryhackme are out of date
trying to do all rooms today with Empire and stuff just old and broken
Could you post some links to these rooms so they can be sorted out? π
Spelling error in https://tryhackme.com/room/nmap01 Task 6 Question:
What is the option required to tell Nmap to use ICMP Echo to discover life hosts?
life should be "live"
#room-bugs would be good for this
Thanks for that tip π have posted there
im not getting the reset password link to my emails
check spamm folder might
i did but nothing there
hey anyone tried using one of the boxes on an M2 mac? I cant type...opened keyboard but i still havent fixed it. I know exactly what to do about the box...just need to type
What you mean exactly? At what stage you can't type?
in Attackbox? in a Virtual Machine?
anything at all...I couldnt type in terminal but i fixed it on my own.
just had to mess with mouse linux settings and keyboard settings
Alright
Is it possible to use my own kali linux machine to do the modules? or do I need to use the attackbox? yes I am a member (currently subscribed). Thanks
You can use your own, you just have to download your openvpn file
Is there somewhere on the page that shows how to set this up
Ty I will give this a try! appriciate it!
Beat me to it π
what is the process for username change?
You'd have to email support
Great, then no worries, they'll get to you
ok so openvpn kinda started buggin again .... i used the thm troubleshooter script to help out but even though it did virtually help me connect to the THM network i still cant access the machines
i tried to rengenerate the .ovpn file and try again but no help doing that
so basically i do get an "initialization completed" on the openvpn connection as well as a virtual address but when i ping the machine it doesnt respond at all
I have a question about openvpn, is there anyone that can offer some insight?
I need to add an encryption method, this is the error I receive when trying to connect // DEPRECATED OPTION: --cipher set to 'AES-256-CBC' but missing in --data-ciphers (AES-256-GCM:AES-128-GCM:CHACHA20-POLY1305 // I have tried running the script but the configuration file isnt in /downloads or /usr/local/

Hi there. I'm not sure if this is the correct place to say this, but I spotted a link on #start-here that doesn't work properly: https://help.tryhackme.com/community/discord ("Uh oh. That page doesnβt exist.")
I was wondering if it should be changed to this one instead: https://help.tryhackme.com/en/articles/6495858-discord
This will be fixed soon π
thank you π
Gave +1 Rep to @crystal marlin
Hey can I DM you just have a question
Depends what the question is about π
Ok I got back into THM found my recovery codes however last night I tried to use the google sign in and now I have created an exrta account
so I have 2 accounts now
Okay, and the question is? How to delete that extra account or?
yes how do I get rid of the extra account
Go to https://tryhackme.com/profile on that extra account, in the "Other" tab there should be a "Delete My Account" button
Ok cool thank you and I am sorry I was a pain the other day
Gave +1 Rep to @crystal marlin
All good, you are welcome π
Hey, can I ask about my problem with running VirtualBox here?
Since it's not directly related to THM, I would ask you to use #infosec-general for that please
Thanks 
Hey guys, someone can help me?? yesterday i was connected to tryhackme with openvpn normally but today i cant
!vpnscript
Give that a bash.
tks, i'll try it now
hey @weary spindle i did. script said its ok but
same error keeping
'permission denied'
did you use sudo?
i'm trying
sudo ssh tryhackme@ip -vv
Which room are you doing?
okay, thank you
Hey I was wondering if someone could help me out. I am wanting to use a Kali VM on my PC with OpenVPN instead of the attackbox but I seem to be getting some weird behaviour when completing nmap scans. The output between the two are different. The attackbox provides more output details vs the kali machine, so if I use kali vm it's likely missing the answer I need. I am working on the Network Services room - enumerating FTP
Is openvpn running directly inside your kali VM ?
No.. its running on my local host
Since this anyways will lead to issues with rev shells, I would first try to change that
So only have it running directly inside your VM and not on your host machine
Awesome, I'll give this a try thank you!
Gave +1 Rep to @crystal marlin
If that doesn't already solve it, just come back here then π
Just tested with the command exercise I was having issues with and running VPN directly inside kali worked thank you π
Gave +1 Rep to @crystal marlin
Hey, I tried downloading my OpenVPN config for my VM, when I try to connect there's an error and it tries restarting the connection but on the website it says that I am connected.
I tried killing all OpenVPN processes and regenerating my config but that didn't work
Hope somebody can help
!vpnscript
Run that π
Worked perfectly, thank you π
Gave +1 Rep to @weary spindle
The attackbox has been disconnecting and reconnecting sporadically for the past couple days, for me. Does anyone know how to fix this? My internet connection is stable.
Can someone please remind me how to connect with OpenVPN? I have the configuration file downloaded, start the machine in the room I am in, run sudo openvpn pathtoconfigurationfile. Then what?
It says Initialization Sequence Completed
You've done it
So how do I do anything with it? How do I interact with the machine?
That's a VPN you are running
You don't do nothing just minimize the screen or open up a new terminal to perform your Tasks
You let that run in the background
That let's you connect to THM servers
so you can complete tasks
Oh right. So the openvpn is just in place of the attackbox. So then what's the best way to download the task files that are in the target machine to my computer?
You running openvpn on Kali or Windows?
Parrot
Python server
Click blue button and then head over to your Downloads folder
I am in a room that doesn't have that. https://tryhackme.com/room/threatinteltools. In step 5, phishtools, I want to get the email files.
Think you need to enable 'Split-View' for that
to download Email1.eml
So once you start the machine 'Split-View' will open up
Also you will need to create an account
with Phishtool
I have that. But I am logged into the account on my Parrot machine. How do I get the email files to the Parrot?
You don't download the files to Parrot you upload them unto PhishTool, from 'Split-View'
did you read the instructions just above the questions of said task????
also known as you are not supposed to get the eml email file as it is kinda dangerous as it actually contains a semi malicious file
You mean this?
So what?
I have Thunderbird on my Parrot machine. So how do I get the file there?
the start machine button starts the target machine in split view
it has thunderbird installed on the target
Don't think you're suppose to be using your Parrot machine
FACEDESK
sorry if this looks rude... just tired
this is a malicious malware thingy kinda... so it is restricted to the target machine and you should do everything on the target machine
to not infect your vm or your windows host
sure tryhackme has stripped the file very bare so that it is near harmless but still it comes with a bit of risk
Here are the emails
That's what you should be looking for
not going to be on your Parrot machine
Yes, I saw those. But I don't want to log in to my email on the tryhackme machine.
you are not going too
thunderbird can open .eml files without login
you just click cancel on the login part
and even if you tried to login to your email on the target machine it would fail as it does not have an outside internet connection
hey, i'm new to tryhackme and i need to open 2 vm's for a school task. Anyone know how I should do this? this is the task: Start from 2 virtual linux machines.
On VM1 add a user with the username VM1Group<Group Number>
VM2 add the user with the username VM2Group<Group Number> and install the software package openssh-server:
sudo apt-get install openssh-server
Using the ssh command you can connect from VM1 to VM2 using the username/password combination of the user on VM2.
Follow the documentation provided here to generate a new keypair.
Try connecting again with the ssh command from VM1 to VM2 but this time use a private/public keypair. You can find several guides on the Internet on how to do this. The private key is on VM1, the public key is on VM2. If all went well, you can connect from VM1 to VM2 without using passwords
thanks.

we are not supposed to help you with homework or school stuff... talk with your teacher or other students in your class
got it now???
Got it.
I need it done in 6 hours it 1am
I read on here before that they don't help with homework/tasks
also this channel is for tryhackme tech support and not for random homework
it is a tryhackme room
a private one right???
The attackbox has been disconnecting and reconnecting sporadically for the past couple days, for me. Does anyone know how to fix this? My internet connection is stable.
ran the script to fix my issue and this came up
how recently did you download the script???? it was updated around 4 days ago
maybe ~5mins ago
nada
i.e you are runnning the vpn connection for tryhackme in a kali vm.. shadow was asking if you are also running a vpn on your windows machine... as that would often cause conflict because sending a vpns traffic through a vpn tends to be problematic
Send a screeenshot of your OpenVPN output please
Apologize for my lack of knowledge, but would that be openvpn --config file?
When you run sudo openvpn <username.ovpn> send a screenshot of whatever is spat out
weird... π€·
You do have multiple tunnels open though
sounds like a plan
weird I killed the one from HTB earlier today
and did sudo killall openvpn
CTRL+c
sudo killall openvpn
sudo openvpn <username.ovpn>
Im so confused. I ran the killall command before I even went to connect to thm machines
Hey Iβm currently doing the Network Services 2 room and I am at the NFS part and everytime I mount my folder and want to open it my console freezes and nothing happens, any advice?
!vpnscript
It's the ciphers, isn't it?
thanks
Gave +1 Rep to @bronze vale
well
I think you copied the html instead of the file?
im sorry my bad
Run this:
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tryhackme/openvpn-troubleshooting/master/thm-troubleshoot | bash
Type cat file.ovpn and send me the output, (replace file.ovpn with your file name)
Okay, do you know how to use nano?
Using nano, go down to the line that says cipher AES-256-CBC and replace it with data-ciphers AES-256-CBC
it worked thank you so much really appreciate it
@pastel tinsel Found an issue with your fix; the OpenVPN script just completely skipped the switch case LMAO
Not a problem; you have multiple tunnels open btw
Are you using any other VPN service/ OpenVPN configuration file?
yeah but not at the same time tho
Alright, well it doesn't look like you closed the tunnel
CTRL+C -> sudo killall openvpn -> sudo openvpn file.ovpn
thanks again
@bronze vale would you happen to know why the attack box keeps disconnecting when i utilize it? my internet connection is stable but am unsure why it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting over and over.
Can you try clearing your browser cache for me and see if that resolves the issue?
If you are on WiFi, I would recommend using an ethernet cable. Although your internet might be stable, any packets that are dropped will immediately reconnect you, this is common for WiFi, but you may not notice it as most services (e.g. YouTube) are able to pick up without the packets that were lost.
doing it now, one moment.
also dont currently have the ability to hardwire, but will try when i get home.
That's not a problem π
It's only a suggestion, if the disconnection keeps on dropping, I would suggest that you do use an ethernet cable. We recently bumped the servers so the disconnection on our end has been reduced.
If you are on Work/ School/ Public WiFi or Mobile Data, I would also recommend waiting until you are home as they can sometimes interfere with the data you are transferring due to the nature of our website.
hey if you dont mind can i ask a question?
What's up?
for how long have you been doing the support thingie?
copy, it disconnected almost immediately again. may just start going through my personal box instead since i dont seem to have the same issue when going that way.
3 years π
I would fully recommend using a Virtual Machine and OpenVPN, it is a much better experience overall
you seem really patience like thats superior, its hard to explain stuff with small details like youre doing really appreciate it
That is very kind of you, thanks π
When I started, I did not understand computers very well. I fully understand that a little bit of effort explaining something can go a long way:)

im trying to create a private room already uploaded a machine but clicking start machine doesnt show any sign of starting it like showing the IP address the machine was windows server 2016, and uploaded as an ova to the site
I check when have time
https://tryhackme.com/my-machine page is not working
web-based linux machine is unstable
@bronze vale please look into it
my machine page was removed, you can now find the info needed in the split screen
Hello, my machine is not reachable and is started 15 min ago
This is my second attempt and the result is the same
what room are you trying to do?
cmess
will check
what do you mean not reachable?
I can not ping it
hmm, use this instead, just started it π
10.10.177.46
most likely, cause I can reach it
Let me try to put it again
yeah, you sure you connected to the vpn?
Yes
!vpnscript π
I generated a new file on EU-3 and the vpn was unable to connect. Now I generated on eu-1 and seems to work fine
I hope will work now, thanks for the help
perfecto, no worries
is wreath working ?
i can able to ping but cannot access the webiste.
can someone help here ? wasted too much time
even from attackbox its not working
Hi, the machines attached to those rooms need to be connected to via SSH; this should all be explained in the first 2 tasks IIRC. You can use the attackbox to SSH into the machine with the credentials provided.
any suggestions as to the vpn file for a room keeps at 0 bytes no matter how many times I regenerate it?
Gave +1 Rep to @glacial hound
Hey, is this a network room?
No worries, happens to the best of us π
yes it is
Which one? Could you try leaving/rejoining the room, regenerating the config file and waiting a few mins before downloading it. If that doesn't work, please send a screenshot of the network diagram in the room.
I can't leave, its throwback. "Paid"
I opened a ticket with support, no response yet, so I figured I'd ask here.
When did you open the ticket?
hihi
a few hours ago
Alright, you will need to be a bit patient; what would help speed things up, is if you share your network diagram with me. You'll need to verify your profile
!docs verify
I need help rn! So basically I just downloaded the VPN file from THM dashboard and suddenly I still being disconnected, any solves for this ?
hello all i wanted to ask is anyone available i think somthing is broken
anyone having issues with the fuff command at all? my Attackbox seems to not have it at all, but notation says it is already pre-installed??
!vpnscript
ty so much
This is for TryHackMe site support^
Please ask in #general or #infosec-general
just did
i am doing the hydra room but the website that should be up is not loading.
is your VPN connected?
yes
try from the web-based Kali
anyone can help with empty ovpn configuration file?
What do you mean by empty? π€
When I download my VPN configuration for Network room, it is empty. 0 bytes
I tried the usual regenerate, no luck.
i logged in and out.
also, didn't work. its 0 bytes
in your terminal, inside the downloads folder type file <file.ovpn> it should give you some details of that file or tell you if it's really empty. Otherwise wait for staff/support
Btw, that is if you are using Linux
yep, its empty.
even when I try to spin up the Web-Based Kali, it doesn't ven reach the network its suppose to.
as it should.
Mine says *****.ovpn: empty
fThat's interesting
ah...
the *'s are just representing the random characters.
Shadow to the rescue
try regenerating the vpn config file wait 2 mins then hit download again
if that does not work try switching vpn server
welp that is basically what we can do
yeah. I tried that.
I remember having a similar issue month's ago. but just regenerating it would work. However this time, it is more persistent. been almost 24 hrs like this.
Try switching vpn server
its network room
what if it could be your environemental conditions or firewall settings?
aaaah then it is worse
for network rooms you can leave and rejoin the network room and then regen the config
there are no different servers to choose from sadly
I doubt it. I tried other network rooms, and the VPN downloads just fine without being empty.
Just one network room doesn't generate a good vpn config file
by network rooms, do you happen to mean other online training platforms besides TryHackMe?
no I mean the other available Network rooms you can join within THM
Can you provide an example for this I am completely confused, reason being is because you can only download the .ovpn file once ? If I am not mistaken
I apologize if i may have misunderstood you
I am getting the same exact thing. I am unable to connect via openvpn and i've tried switching servers and regenerating the config file. For some reason THM states im connected with an IP address and I am certainly not connected
You can try
Let me know if anyone sees a solution
!vpnscript
alright I will try that
It's by Muiri
yea it is
very cool
just finished running through it, it appears to work
i take that as a win
wonder why that happened. Maybe a kali update fubared tun0
something about AES encryption packages
ahhh
not being updated on it's newer version of kali packages
i think
interesting
I see you can also fix with sed -i command
which i also see in Muiri's bash script
that is super amazing. skills on deck
yea way out of my league for sure
See with this command
sed -i 's/cipher AES-256-CBC/data-ciphers AES-256-CBC/' *.ovpn
does someone maybe know why my terminal is a bit laggy? If i hold down my right/left key it has a little delay to it and when I release it it just goes. Im running kali on vmware. Its literally only the terminal everything else works fine.
Is it because of xfce?
you need to select Networks, and the drop-down for "Network VPN Server"
You would get a bunch of VPNs available if you join the network rooms
You know, now i'm curious
what is the US-West-VIP-1
i have the US-West-Regular-1`
yeah because you need to join the "specified Network room", for it to appear
which i have not
anyways, there would a list there if you did.
Well I mean, that is what the script does.
i am having trouble using kali
iam using Uni wifi with warp vpn....using kali on UTM, I cant ping google , tried to change DNS nameservers to 8.8.8.8
nothing works
yeah the only difference was this sed -i 's/cipher AES-256-CBC/data-ciphers AES-256-CBC/' *.ovpn <- which i didn't see in the script
for some reason when i do my work late at night it will not always tick .. i subbed a streak ticket but i cant tell if its reporting incorrectly or if the site isnt working.. im super confused how i have a 0 day on my history when i was on and doing things..
yesterday i did at least 8 answers and they were real questions but it shows 0 for the day 8/ (I know 8 isnt a ton but i was working and dealing with family so my window was very short to do work .. it should still reflect activity tho???)
I need help!I launched a target machine on TRHACKME and obtained the IP 10.10.158.168. Then I opened a VPN and obtained the IP 10.13.21.153. I wanted to test the target machine using my Kali virtual machine, which is using NAT mode. I can ping 10.10.158.168 from Kali, but when I tried to ping 10.13.21.153 from within 10.10.158.168, there was no response. What could be the issue?
Ive contacted support about 3-4 days ago regarding not getting the reset password email and no response :/
Please be patient.
Support has been swamped with emails lately and they are working their through them.
Then how to extend the VM timing???
there's a plus in the split view to extend it
Hi to all. Just i have problem with this room? https://tryhackme.com/room/webfundamentals
the room has been taken down, this can be because it might get updated, or there has been a new room released that teaches the same
same here I did questions yesterday and it shows I did 0 FFS
So about those streak related issues......is this the line for support on that?
you have to email them
Noted, thank you π

Hello, I am doing the pentesting course and I know where the files are uploaded to use them from my own machine and not using attackTheBox
Hi,
Here are some tips to help you avoid losing your streak:
-
Try to answer questions no later than 11 pm or earlier than 3 am.
-
Activity on your profile is a breakdown of answered questions and other things like deploying and terminating machines. Please ensure you've answered questions daily, not just been active on the platform. A minimum of 3 questions answered is also good to ensure you keep your streak. The questions that do not require an actual answer ("completed") do not count towards your streak.
-
Do you know if the country flag in your profile is correct? If not, this can lead to issues with your time zone.
Hello, I just made it to a 45-day streak, and I was wanting to buy some swag? how do I get my 5% off reward?
You'll need to contact support for that.

That doesn't look like an error.
From another terminal, do you see a tun0 interface bound to a 10.x.x.x IP address?
using the ip addr show command
It seems like no ..T_T
Can you post a screenshot of your terminal output when you run your connect command?
sorryοΌI didn't find the post function to upload the screenshot
been almost 48 hrs and no response for my open ticket.
you'll need to verify your thm account with the bot
!docs verify
!docs verify
oh,I'll try it now
What's the output from the openvpn command
what's the error you get?
sudo openvpn xxxx,ovpn
And it's just being here for a long time T_T
And it just hangs there?
yes
There's a troubleshooting script linked in the channel pins, please run that and let us know the output
hi all i just wanna ask why support aren't ansewring this is too much
do this
sed -i 's/cipher AES-256-CBC/data-ciphers AES-256-CBC/' *.ovpn
typical turnaround for support emails is 3-5 days, IIRC
jabba told shadow to only refer people to the vpnscript instead of using this command now that the vpn script for troubleshooting works again
!vpnscript
i waited for like 6 days and they didn't answer to be honest this is the worst support in my life
thanks,but there is no output
did you just run a command without knowing what it does???? 
This command won't have output, it will do an in-place substitution in the file
If you emailed again in that time, it puts your message at the back of the queue. Oldest thread first.
oh,I see,indeed there are lots of things I didn't know T_T
sed == stream editor
Also, do not run commands that you don't understand. Just because someone is trying to help doesn't mean that it's the right command, necessarily.
are they working like 2 hours per day or what ?
I see T_T
I'll learn more to narrow the knowledge gap 
hi, this is the output ,how can I solve it
Does this indicate that I need to modify the settings on the physical machine? (I met the same situation on windows T_T)
I'm trying to do the OWASP Top 10 room. When I am trying to access the website it takes ages to load but my connection is fast and stable with other sites. Any ideas?
No, now you need to use the given command sudo openvpn ./rarara.ovpn and then you should be connected
No, however Jabba has had a lot of e-mails the past week.

Hi, I'm running Kali Linux from windows wsl and while trying the advent of cyber 2022 day 9 I can't get a reverse shell. I'm using OpenVPN on my windows PC.
networking problems according to others
i can't either when using msfvenom
metasploit
use kali on type 2 hypervisor
I'm not sure how to do that.
Are you familiar with Virtual Machines? If no, I would #start-here and do some Networking Fundamental rooms
and YouTube
Thanks
You can setup a Virtual Machine and host Kali on it. YouTube how do install Oracle Virtual Box or VMWare. Next YouTube how to install Kali on Oracle Virtual Box or VMWare
Thanks! It seems like working!
Gave +1 Rep to @maiden halo
Is it just me or are the website struggling to start vms atm?
Site struggling to load rooms etc too
Not just you, I am experiencing the same thing
Same here, I joined this discord just for this issue lol
@fleet juniper OP?
3
I am having problem connecting to openvpn here is the log
i have already tried troubleshooting script
also in the tryhackme web console its showing that i am connected to vpn but in the VM i am not
yeah, I'm having the same issue with starting the machines. Earlier I got a cloud-flare message on screen saying that the load balancer was not reachable (or something along those lines).
Does anyone know if there's a discord channel or a status page on the website where we can keep an eye to know when this problem has been resolved? So I won't need to keep checking the rooms or refresh the page to see when the problem has been resolved
@mental tendon can you connect to vpn ?
I didn't try, I usually use the AttackBox
ok, i am having same issue
cant even connect via vpn
ok sois it safe to say everyone is experiencing a range of issues right now?
because imnot able to do anything really...
i canconnect to the vpn though, it just seems like the rooms arent functional...
it tells me its starting a machine, then nothing. I tried clearing cache too...

Hi, I tried to connect to TryHackMe's virtual machine via Remmina Remote desktop but I'm getting this error. Any help pls?
It's an exercise from this room: https://tryhackme.com/room/windowsfundamentals3xzx
if you read the second last line, the error is arriving because it can't open TUN/TAP cause there is no /dev/net/tun, try and have a look at that
oh so it is just me?
One Piece
Been getting these off and on throughout the night
hmmm i can get to the site and click around on rooms but nothing seems to follow through - like it says its starting the machine then doesnt
i have a 116 day streak i dont wanna looooose oh nooooooo
I tested using VPNs in different regions and it seems to be affecting most regions
ok thanks
But I have been able to answer questions and stuff, and when VMs start they don't have problems
dang i cant even answer a question...
Sometimes I have to reload the page a couple times
ok i found one so i wont lose my streak at least lol
That's good, it would suck to lose that
@zealous yoke a lot of people are having connection issues^
Hey π we're looking into this π
cc @unreal oracle @fleet juniper
Hail, noble scholars of this esteemed server! I come before thee humbly, beset by a doubt that doth vex my mind like a thorn in my side. Though I have sought answers in the texts of old and the wisdom of the ages, my quest for understanding remains unfulfilled. Thus, I implore thee to lend thy expertise and aid me in this endeavor. Mayhap, with thy guidance, I shall emerge from the shadows of ignorance, and behold the light of knowledge. Pray, let not my plea go unanswered, and let the pursuit of truth unite us in this quest.
That's quite something :kek

can you ping 10.10.10.10?
This looks like an issue with your VPN connection
me?
i logged off, my vpn clientconnected ok, it was mostly the website that seemed to have issues for me
no no, that's directed @safe glacier
oh ok
i managed ot get a single answer in to save my streak, ill be back at it tomorrow
still it's showing same Lost connection to the RDP server 10.10.10.10
thanks for all the work!
The problems your experiencing is related to the site itself and we're looking into it @unreal oracle π
guys, I'm trying to complete the Sysinternals room, but the integrated machine is linux, not windows. Is it only possible to access the actual machine via RDP?
Okay, so your VPN does not look like it is working. Run our VPN script - it does a good job of diagnosing and fixing problems
!vpnscript
run this ^^
Unfortunately my college's server doesn't allow OpenVPN, so I'll try this at home. Thanks for help!
Gave +1 Rep to @zealous yoke
Most gracious and learned scholar, I am filled with a sense of gratitude and wonder at thy benevolence. Thy guidance hath cleared the mists of confusion that shrouded my mind, and brought forth the light of understanding. Like a wayward traveler that hath found his path, I am indebted to thee for showing me the way. May the blessings of the divine rest upon thee, and may thy wisdom continue to shine like a beacon of hope in this world.
Ah okay, yup that'll be it π
Good luck on your quest
π
hey Ben, could you please take a look at Sysinternals' integrated machine? It's displaying a linux installation to me, but it should be a windows one
Hey π I've deployed the VM in the room and logged in - it's Windows for me
can you post the IP address of what you're trying to log into?
I'm using the Start Machine button at task 1, not RDP
Yup me too!
that's odd, let me check the ip
sure π This is what I see
actually, I get why I was seeing an ubuntu installation, it was because after clicking on Start Machine, nothing shows up, and because of that I clicked on Start Attackbox, which is linux
anyway, when I click on Start Machine, it just shows me that a machine is active
but nothing appears on my screen
the ip is 10.10.183.111
Ah yup. That means the in-browser access hasn't been configured - some rooms are like this (I.e. challenges / community-made walkthroughs)
But this should have in-browser access, I'll send a message to my colleague to see if we can get the in-browser access added
It looks like the VM attached to the room was recently updated so it's probably just been missed off by mistake π
No worries, I've just sent a message internally. But a good thing to note is that you won't always get a connection/split-screen view when launching a machine in all rooms π
it seems it has been like this for a while, I tried to find another person with the same problem and I found a user called ALocalDolphin facing the same issue on 03/05
I didn't use RDP yet, I will try to not get so used to the split screen feature haha
Can somebody tell my why websites of the machines take an infinity to load? I can ping them but loading the site I am supposed to go on takes forever or doesn't work at all
Me too, I can't do anything today
When will it be fixed?
I think it should be fixed today, since it seems like a cause might be identified. But that's just a guess
For the time being just keep refreshing the page when VMs won't start/stop, it should eventually work
I hope they'll fix it soon, It is really slow for me. The Burp Suite room can't load the VMs
Yeah same here, the upside is when the VM does eventually load it runs just fine
Sorry to bother you, do you know if there's a status page on tryhackme, or a channel where an update about this issue will be published? Or do you you know if something will be published on this same channel?
Hello,
I am building a room for THM and I am facing some issues with IP addressing.
The initial foothold will be through a CMS. The problem is that when setting up this CMS - it requires a static IP address (which, while building the lab, it must be a local ip address from my network)
This static IP address will be used from users to go to this CMS and do the rest... Knowing that THM uses different sets of IP addresses, and my local IP address is not the same, how do I handle it? I am guessing that the solution here is to setup dynamic IP so everytime the instance fires up, it gets the new THM IP, but the CMS doesn't have an option for it
Froxlor
I think that the website is running fine now, maybe they fixed the problem
it seems there is some kind of problem with room VM's
--- 10.10.219.14 ping statistics ---

this was the ping results even tho my connection is stable
I personally still have the problem, the attackbox and the room machine won't start apparently (or the attackbox start very slowly, but the room machine still doesn't work). I agree that other parts of the website that I had troubles accessing earlier are now working fine, but not sure the boxes issue has been already resolved
I haven't tried the A.B yet, but maybe that will be fixed soon.
yes website works fine on my side too
i was facing that issue too but rooms are still broken on my side
Just one problem is that when using OpenVPN, the site seems to be very slow. I didn't have this yesterday.
the problem is that when the CMS is prompting for an IP address - only IP addresses are allowed, no hostnames
Hello, I'm working on the nmap room, task 14. I'm connected to openVPN but it seems I can't reach the ip address of the machine (10.10.86.75) when sending nmap commands from my own computer. Whereas it's working well from the attackbox. Is it normal? Thanks
Hey π just to follow up on this, in-browser access has been setup for this room! π
Hey! We don't have one at the moment. We usually post maintenance windows or prolonged outages (if they ever happen) in #announcements, but I'll raise the suggestion internally regarding a status page π I think it is a good idea!
That's cool, thank you very much for your help π

Hi there! I'm in the room Linux Fundamentals Part 1. After I click on Start Machine in Task 3, once it finishes loading, it just takes me to a blank page on the right side of the split view. It doesn't load anything up like it should. I've watched the video in the room and taken the exact same steps as the man in the video, but where his shows up the terminal, mine remains blank. I'm not sure why.
How are you connected to openvpn?
Refresh work?
I've tried. I just tried again, it's still a blank page on the right. I'm on Google Chrome.
I followed the tutorial when I began with tryhackme. It always worked very well.
Does the output of the cli have any errors?

Anyone have any issues with the Walking an application lab? I am getting a 504 Gateway Timeout error when I try to access the link in task 1.
Yea. Ill restart the lab and try again though.
I am so stupid lol I found it. Yea I was confusing the 2 machines.
The Attack Box loads fine for me in the split view, but not the machine itself. Still not sure what's going on with it.
Sure thing!
alright, verified, ill send a screenshot
I'll check now
Ah, looks like it might be the notifications permission?
but there's also that 403 error
you're blocking javascript right?
I'm trying again now that notifications are enabled. Restarted the page and re-launching
oh, the adblock plus is probably what was doing that?
yeah that might be doing it, other contenders would be noscript, scriptsecure, privacy badger et al
I see. I switched from Firefox (which I know has that stuff on it) to my Chrome browser (as far as I know, it just has adblock which I believe I disabled this time around)
hmm..maybe not.
this is whats showing now
ill try and check the plugins and just remove adblocker completely

I bought a throwback voucher that doesn't work. What do I do? I've already tried contacting support via email multiple times.
a response can take 2-3 days using email... and sending a new email will put you last in the queue again... so have some patience

Hi all, who should I contact for a room bug?
man, I lost a 43-day streak. Would it be an unreasonable request to ask for that to be reset one time? If not that's okay.
You can try kindly asking support via email support@tryhackme.com
Hi all, how can I setup authenticator 2FA authentication again on new phone as my old phone is broken.

why i am unable to connect on attack IP using openvpn??
i mean i am unable to access any Attack Wep using openvpn
let me explain to you wait
See both Screenshot. in 1st if i access the machine using my browser i get this error but i access the same machine using attackbox i don't receive any error for that check second SS.
P.S. I am connected to VPN in both Case.
@glad oyster & @smoky harbor
Not sure where I come into this but
Your not accessing the same IP.
@twin fable
Please don't send me a friend request, you've already pushed it with randomly tagging me
i just tagged you because i saw you as a room tester
How long have you waited?
And if you ping 10.10.10.10?
connection is verfified
Okay, stop the machine and re start it
Then wait at least 4 minutes before trying to connect
Yes, that is not tech support - we're all volunteers here
sorry for misunderstanding

Hi, I am trying to apt install arp-scan in the attackbox but I get an error which says it can't connect to the server. How can I proceed if the attack does not have internet and thus I can not install arp-scan?
Hey you need to be a subscriber to get internet access on the attack box
Also what room is ARP scan needed on?
Nmap Live Host Discovery task 5
Ok, if I set up my own virtual machine, with internet, then I would be able to do this?
Yes, that will work just fine, you'll just have to connect through openvpn
Ok thanks!
cc @zealous yoke ARP scan on attack box?
In my Browser the Start Machine isnt running and i only get a white screen what can i do or shoud i set any settings in the browser. Can someone help ?
I'm having the same issue. It may be related to any adblockers or browser configurations/add-ons that block certain things on the website.
I just realized after trying on three different browsers, with the same result, that I have WebRoot running and so I'm trying it again without that
I made sure to remove AdBlockerPlus from my Chrome browser, but the issue was persisting. So I tried accessing it on Microsoft Edge, same thing happened. Checked in the Console and saw that one of the errors mentioned something blocking access. I looked in my plugins/add-ons for the browser itself and that's when I saw WebRoot, which is for my whole computer.
Fingers crossed that it works for me this time...
But I wold check the Console in Developer Tools on your browser as well as any add-ons or plugins you use that block JavaScript and things like that
I also disabled every blocker but it still dosnt work
Yeah, I just tried again, same issue. Another user messaged me having the same issue. This might be a room bug?
I've emailed support yesterday, just waiting the few days for a response.
hmmm too bad it's really disappointing to just want to start and then directly something like this can you write me if you know more?
For sure, it's been a bit frustrating but I know stuff happens like this because I work in software troubleshooting so I'm just trying to exhaust all avenues that I can think of lol
yes, it is always good to see things in a positive light. Thanks already
Gave +1 Rep to @stone gorge
I just saw that my browser itself (Edge in this case) had tracking prevention on. I added TryHackMe as an exception, will try again.,
no idea what is breaking it for you people but sad that you get stuck in this Β―_(γ)_/Β―
Yeah, it is a weird one for sure. I'd be curious to know if it's working for others? I'm hoping it's just something on my end and not on the site cause that's obviously not bueno for people starting out on those modules if so:/
Here are the errors I'm getting after adding TryHackMe as an exception to the tracking protection:
The 403 and 400 errors from the server
this is for linux fundamentals 1 right??? going to check if it works for shadow
shadows assumption is it will work for shadow as it has worked in the past for them
Yes. I've tried everything I can think of at this point, including turning off firewalls and other things, and I just keep getting those same errors persisting
Thanks for checking on that!
works for shadow strangely enough
Hmmm. I could try on a non-hardened version of Firefox and see if it works for me then. But it should work on Chrome as well, right?
Did you have to alter any configurations in the browser or your computer's firewall or antivirus at all?
huh none hardenend firefox??? shadow uses the arkenfox user.js and it works
also known as about as hardened as feasibly possible
also have ublock origin running
oh, the firefox I have has all kinds of stuff basically that would likely cause issues (uBlock, etc etc)
Wait for real?
OK then I don't know π€·π½ββοΈ
.... though no firewall or anti virus as this is a linux machine
I see. I'm using a Windows computer
desktop
I wonder why the server is failing to load resource
yeah it is weird
I'm just glad I'm not going crazy lol, since other people are seeing it
I guess it's not a room bug then
yeah.... shadows setup should be prone to breakages of a lot of websites.... the exception is if it has to do with firewalls or anti virus as shadow don't use a firewall and anti virus is not really an option on linux based distros
like it is on windows that is
technically there is clamav
i guess I can look at windows firewall
and my antivirus
ill turn on all my other stuff i removed
OK so here's something else I found:
Not sure if that's applicable, but I have no idea how to set that lol

no problem and hopefully it fixes your problem
Hello can anyone help with this? I started the 'Breaching Active Directory' room and it looks like the start button is stuck/froze? I have connected to the VPN but I cannot get find the domain and I have tried to connect on the attack-box but I still cannot find the domain. Has anyone else had this problem?
Hello. I am here regarding a question about the openvpn connection with tryhackme. I did plenty of researching in the past 3 days and still found no solution so I hope to find some assistance here. The problem is, that when I connect to the network (yes, I do get the 2 green check marks) I still cant type in an ip in my browser to see the website. (I tried with 10.10.10.10 like in the docs incase a room does not have one. I am on WSL on windows 10. I found an answer regarding this in the pinned messages, but at the bottom it said: This does not work for windows [...]. Is there a good solution to it? I have tried doing both dual booting and VMs but I always had problems achieving that. Thank you beforehand,

where should i post questions to burpsuite?
about burpsuite? Since this channel is intended for tryhackme related topics, #general is more acceptable
Hello, I never received the "First Four" badge. I completed way more than four rooms. Is there more requirements that aren't listed?
Greetings, can I post a question about streaks here?
Go for it @compact basin π
I had a streak of 470 and its gone today. I'm on everyday doing activities. I posted in the general channel and was told to email support@tryhackme.com
Ah sorry to hear! Is your country on your profile page correct? It is 24 hours from when you last answered a question (afaik)
But yup, for a streak restore, support@tryhackme.com is the way to go about it
No, its not. I'm from the US but is says Italy. I never figured how to change it.
Ah, that would be a problem as it also uses your timezone. Let me see if I can find the URL that updates it for you
Thank you.
If you visit this URL, your country should update (make sure you're not running any VPN/anything that'd show your location as being somewhere else) https://tryhackme.com/api/user/update-timezone
Thank you.
You should get directed to the dashboard page. After that, take a look at your profile and your country should've updated π
Yes, it worked. Thank you!
Great! Yup so that'll help. It'll now use your timezone + 24 hours for your questions (so say you answer a question at 6PM in your timezone, it will now use that rather than say w/e the timezone difference for 6pm is in Italy)
But yeah, to get it restored, you'll need to send an email to the support email
Just repeat all of the above and they should be able to help out π
Great thank you so much!
No worries!
Can I connect to the vnc of the attackbox from my machine on openvpn?
Tried rdp but can't fix the resolution
@zealous yoke
Did try hack me get rid of the ability to start kali or attack box outside of a room?
If you meant My-Machine Page, It's deprecated
im bored of booting the attackbox, is there any contra against using my own machine via vpn for the thm rooms?
my machine runs win10, and i could also setup a linux virtual machine, or?
Would anyone know what the vcxsrv.exe system error is about? "The code execution cannot proceed because libXau.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem."
Just pressed OK on them all n hope it doesn't come back
Not really any contras, the only thing, rooms are intended to be done with the attackbox, although I'm not aware of any rooms that require a certain version of a tool etc. that might differ from the version you are using on your own VM. But in general, there should be no issues at all π
Is this for a certain THM room and if so, which one?

Hey I'm having some issues with RPD in the new Outlook NTML Leak. Not sure if here or #room-help is best but, I can connect using RDP fine but after a moment it disconnects with error [INFO][com.freerdp.client.common] - Network Disconnect!
can't seem to send a screenshot for some reason. I noticed other people have had similar issues with other rooms but couldn't find a solution
I don't have any VPN running on the host machine, and I can connect to tryhackme using openVPN fine and ping the machine fine, but after RPD disconnects I can no longer ping the machine
Verify so you can send screenshots
!docs verify

"ERROR: failed to negotiate cipher with server. Add the server's cipher ('AES-256-CBC') to --data-ciphers (currently 'AES-256-GCM:AES-128-GCM:CHACHA20-POLY1305') if you want to connect to this server."
Has anyone seen this issue connecting with Openvpn lately? I'm running BlackArch with Openvpn 2.6.1, and I've tried multiple server location config files and regenerated the file each time π€·ββοΈ
!vpnscript
Download and run this, it should fix the cipher error
Doesn't seem to see the installed Arch package for Openvpn. Looks like the script only works for deb based distros
Hm, you could also make the change manually in your config file in an editor by changing cipher to data-ciphers
All sorted, thanks fellas
guys i have a doubt when i run huge output scripts like winpease or any other i cannot view the top portion of the output , i tried to write the output to a text file but the characters are not supported any idea on how to view the full output..?

Hello! I'm having some issues with Brainstorm room (Buffer Overflow in Offensive pentesting path). What are the prerequisites to test the exe file ? Windows 7 32 bits ?

Coming back to this issue re: Linux Fundamentals Part 1, while I am still waiting for a response from support, I did find something that I'm doing as a workaround for now.
If you'd still like to complete the room, the youtube video at the top of it will guide you through the exercises and give you the answers. I'm doing that.
Also, if you open up the AttackBox (it actually loads and works for me), you can use the terminal in the AttackBox to practice some of the commands. It's not going to be useful for getting the answers of course since its a different machine entirely from what I understand, but I used it to practice the commands just fine and that was helpful.
I just installed virtualbox on my PC, but I got an error starting the machine saying no hypervisor partition. I looked up the error and found that it was a BIOS issue, and the BIOS menu wouldnβt let me move my mouse or use my keyboard to change a setting. It also froze when I pressed ctrl + alt + del to exit the menu. Iβm on windows 10 with an ASUS mobo. Is it safe to exit a frozen BIOS menu, and can I enable virtualization without going into BIOS?
Also is this the right channel to ask this?
I would contact ASUS support, and check the documentation for your laptop.
Thanks
i bit the bullet and rebooted the frozen BIOS menu. i didn't brick my PC and i'll figure out some way to enable virtualization. worst case scenario i'll stick with the attackbox.
I am currently doing linux fundamentals part 1 and I am on task 5, I start the virtual machine and it never comes up so I go toward the top after 30 mins of waiting and start the attackbox and that opens up and I see that the other machine I opened first is starting up but when it finally starts I can not enter anything its completely frozen. I've tried to use it with chrome and no luck I've also restarted my computer and it is still giving me the same issue. Is there anything I can do to resolve this so that I can finish the section?
Oops thanks!
Gave +1 Rep to @dense bramble
the problem here was that i had some controllers plugged into the PC
if am i use VM, i can need buy a VPN ?
no if you want to use your own virtual machine for tryhackme you use a vpn they provide to you for free... to learn how to connect and do it check out this room linked in the bot message below
!vpn

Who can I reach out to about a voucher for the throwback room that isn't working?
I've emailed multiple times, no response π¦
I bought the voucher 1 month and 3 weeks ago, I've been pretty patient
what answer did you put ?
might then be soon. try wait up to monday
if you email multiple times, it just goes to the end of the queue
put that question in #room-help might be better place
I've been having an issue with the Breaching Active Directory room. The VPN access to the network seems to be broken.
I've tried AttackBox, which is not connected, can't ping the domain controller IP, Kali: same deal.
and just now I tried connecting from my own computer using openvpn and I get this error: OPTIONS ERROR: failed to negotiate cipher with server. Add the server's cipher ('AES-256-CBC') to --data-ciphers (currently 'AES-256-GCM:AES-128-GCM:CHACHA20-POLY1305') if you want to connect to this server.
If I try to use "sudo openvpn --data-ciphers AES-256-CBC --config breachingad.ovpn" then I get this error:
2023-03-25 08:18:52 Error: problem with tun vs. tap setting
2023-03-25 08:18:52 Exiting due to fatal error
!vpnscript
try that
same result as the last error I posted
2023-03-25 08:23:32 Error: problem with tun vs. tap setting
2023-03-25 08:23:32 Exiting due to fatal error
and like I mentioned AttackBox and Kali are supposed to automatically connect to the network in that room
they're not, I think somethings wrong
Are you using the kali web box?
I've tried everything: AttackBox, Kali web box and my personal Kali box.
none of them can connect to the room network
Did you set the nameserve in etc/resolv.conf ?
I can't even ping the IP
Is the network running?
yes
I've had this problem for several days now. I made a ticket a couple days ago but nobody got back to me on that yet.
Try resetting the room.
that would mean I have to start from the beginning again, correct?
I'm about half way through the tasks
Do you mean resetting my progress or resetting the network?
Vote to reset the network
Is this for a room on TryHackMe?
no its a genral question it wil be helpful in pentesting of website
Which website?
there are lot of website like this with captcha login
You'll need to either use this
!vpnscript
If that doesn't change it, manually change it.
Is this a recent issue ? It has always been working fine for me for the past two years
Yeah,
It depends on which OpenVpn version you have
is this for school? which websites do you need to brute force and why?
Can't seem to sudo the script as instructed
Tried running with python wont work as well
Did you save it as Thm-troubleshoot.sh ?
chmod +x
done that
./
works now
thanks
yup the vpn works now, thank you @weary spindle for the guidance
i felt like a noob doing this π₯²
Gave +1 Rep to @weary spindle
No worries! π
Never had problems, all of a sudden the same messages as @spark spoke
Using the AttackBox now, but am happy about solving hints :)
openvpn to another service works just fine
Try running your VPN then doing that π
makes sense :> @weary spindle
Still the same while openvpn runs in another tab
this happened on the openvpn tab
It killed it again
I guess they think my first connection is a duplicate connection
I restartet the VM, there is no other openvpn running
ip a s
Oh, that tun0 is from another service I already killed
Would you mind giving me a hint on how to disconnect it completely?
sudo killall openvpn
this worked, then I started the thm openvpn and it connected be again to another tun0
i recognize the tun0 ip and used it doing machines
is it normal I get it re-assigned all over again with thm?
re-assigned?
Yes, that's your ip.
That's your IP which will be used to catch your reverse shells etc.
