I guess this may be due to my sub that expired guess on is making some trouble if I am not wrong.
Hi!
I have trouble changing billing card. I cancelled my subscription, the subscription has ended yesterday, and when I try restoring my subscription, it doesn't give me the ability to add a new billing card.
Is there any way to do something about it?
Hi! I also have the same issue. I can't even login to the chargebee portal, because the one-time password code doesn't come to my email. Maybe some can help us?
what? tell me more about it if i have machine using nat and vpn other user can connect me ?? if i know vpn is private , btw it's one of reasons i use the vm if i use it and something goes wromg i have snapshots, and eventually i can set up next in minutes.
I tried contacting on Twitter earlier today (4 hours ago) and I have no answer yet.
I hope that they take care of it
Did you already try logging into https://tryhackme.chargebeeportal.com/portal/v2/ ? As far as I know you can manage your subscription and add/remove/change your payment method from there.
i hope that works that way, always you have a snapshots. https://tryhackme.com/r/manage-account/subscription Private OpenVPN servers <--- what does it mean. heh i dont know how to add png image here
still better than attackbox imho.
No I never. I didn't even know about this portal
Where did this portal come from? And where can I find it on the official tryhackme website?
(Sorry, but I tend to be skeptical/paranoid about things that involves money)
Are you using your host to connect to the THM OpenVPN?
You can find it on any billing E-mails.
Thank you 😊
Gave +1 Rep to @weary spindle
I think this is related to the payment portal and not managing your subscription.
Thank you everyone
hi, is it possible to open a ticket of payment support here in discord?
No, it needs to be done on Email.
i used the support form on the website, is it the same right?
You'll have to type /verify token: <discord token found in your THM profile>
i was just searching for a quicker answer
Chat box in the bottom right?
Yes.
Also this is slow my friend
I wait for an answer 5 days now
Yes, support are very busy, 7-9 days exluding weekends.
Oh thx.
What you mean host physicall machine?As i know vm can be host to. But maybe i donk know definition.heh so maybe we help here people who want to acces and attack..but stilll nat is not enought?than what i can do connect from some remote host? For me it changes nothing i reinstall system even withaut attack of thn users because i'am new to linux etx and like to trying some stupid things...
Simple anwser i use host to setup vm and from vm i sometimes Use bridged othertime over nat and use openvpn to connect thm network. is that serious not save?
Yes, by host I am pertaining to the machine you are using to host the VM you use to connect to the THM network. In the THM use-case, I'd say bridged is better as you are directly connecting it to the THM network thus maintaining the isolation from your host (as it treats it as a separate device) as opposed to NAT where you are using the FW of your host to protect your VM. That's how I understand it.
Thats correct i think, bridged is more useful i have some problems when usuing nat exacly nat-network because i like to try diffrent distros sometimes.xAnd its eot i think.
hey guys, I have a problem when doing CTRL + C on my attackbox terminal any tips/tricks to make it work?
If you look at the left of the split-screen view, there's a little tab that you can slide out. You need to use that to parse keyboard shortcuts in split-screen view, or, you can press the two arrows button at the bottom to expand it into full screen - keyboard shortcuts should passthrough okay 🙂
I can't get a screenshot atm but hopefully that is helpful enough to find the buttons
Thanks for the help 😄

Do I receive help here or via the email for a streak loss with the questions answered not dropping to zero this week
Anyone know how to renew a subscription with the discount? I cannot find anywhere at all to do this
I paid the premium montly amount today but I still don't have access yet.
Subscribe there is a discount box, it's only annually
Thanks
Gave +1 Rep to @weary spindle
The issue is I am already subscribed and there is no option to just subscribe again. I only get an invoice sent to my email but no way to pay it with the discount.
You can't stack subscriptions.
My sub technically ended on the 4th of December. Even after that if I hit cancel subscription my only option it shows is to just restart the subscription.
I think it's + 3 days from cancellation
So what your saying is I can now not renew with the discount because I have to wait the 3 days?
Suggest to drop an email to THM Support. Please be patient though as the standard response time at this time is at ~ 8 to 9 days as they are quite busy with the AoC event.
It seems so. Also, even if you do request for a refund, the discount code is only valid on December 7 or 8 (depending on where you are in the world).
the code will expire on 00:00 GMT.
Hello Guys
I need help please
I tried to connect using OpenVPN tool, everything looks fine but whenever I tried to access to machine I get 500 status
i tried today to make a subscribtion , but after accepting the payment on paypal , i get back on THM without any message, my paypal look clean without any payments. i tried this some times without change.
What room or machine are you trying to access? Status code 500 is indicative of error at the server side, but then again, that will depend on what you are trying to access.
Means the payment was not processed?
i think so
If that is the case, I'm not certain if its on PayPal or THM side. Did you get any confirmation for PayPal of your successful purchase?
not rly, after accepting the payment on paypal. Paypal just sent me back to THM , then its loading 10s or maybe more. But after that, nothing happened. and i got no email for the purchased that paypal usally do

Just asking again in case anyone knows, any chance of support retroactively applying the discount code when my subscription auto-renewed on the 4th (and I sent an email on the 4th)? I'd like to not miss the discount if possible!
I would ask for refund and reapply, but not sure if that process would take a few days, missing the chance to apply the discount during purchase.
Can anyone tell me how to get the Attack Box for the Advent of Cyber event to work on an HP Stream laptop running Windows 10 Home? The Attack Box runs through its normal loading page, but then the pane is blank. This is followed by a vnc message that says something about timing out. I’m really enjoying the Advent of Cyber event, and I’m trying to keep up!
When i cancel my subscription i lost what i did? examples points, rooms etc?
Do I really get 20% off as a student? How can I claim it?
No, you don't lose any progress i.e. points, etc. You will just lose the ability to join subscriber-only rooms, but your progress is saved 🙂
Yes indeed 🙂 you can read more about it and how to redeem it here https://help.tryhackme.com/en/articles/6494960-student-discount

(Hey folks - I'm still finding my way around Discord - I hope I'm posting in the right place.)
You can download you OpenVPN config file using this link -
You can use this script (although new config files shouldn't have that issue) -
am i doing something wrong?
Put another '0' at the end of your URL
Hi everyone
Get a serious problem with the code to amend and not sure where to get it fix
2023-12-07 18:22:24 Note: --cipher is not set. OpenVPN versions before 2.5 defaulted to BF-CBC as fallback when cipher negotiation failed in this case. If you need this fallback please add '--data-ciphers-fallback BF-CBC' to your configuration and/or add BF-CBC to --data-ciphers.
2023-12-07 18:22:24 Note: cipher 'AES-256-CBC' in --data-ciphers is not supported by ovpn-dco, disabling data channel offload.

Hello, support. I want to use the AOC discount to upgrade from monthly to annual. My current sub ends on the 25th. How can I do this so I can use the discount code for my annual subscription?
Hey, this isn't exactly THM Support (as you'll have to drop them an email via support@tryhackme.com). However, regarding your concern, I don't think this is still possible as the AOC discount or coupon was only valid until December 8, 00:00 GMT.
Appreciate the response. I will send them an email!
How is Yearly Activity calculated?
I answered all questions on AOC-2023 / Day 7 and it shows only 2 events on Yearly Activity.
Verifies anything?
Done.
Okay, next, question was about Yearly Activity calculated.
Hello does anyone knows what is e-mail to report try hackme about subscription purchased by not showing a mound is deducted
Hi, ive cancelled my subscription but in still getting invoices
Ive created a ticket but i havent had any responses yet
Hey, I want to study Splunk and the Splunk room is private for me. I have the premium subscription, is this an error?
Thanks in advance
When did your subscription renew? When did you email THM Support?
To clarify, you purchased the subscription, but somehow the transaction did not push through?
Dec 6
I tried to access the room and I can access it with no issues. Suggest you try to send an email to THM Support.
Is your subscription annually or monthly?
They invoiced a couple days before that and I emailed the then
Annual
If you've already sent them an email within 7 days of your subscription renewal, THM Support will get back to you. Please be patient though as standard response time at the moment is at ~8 to 9 working days due to the AoC event.
Would a strict firewall blocking all incoming connections to the host be enough?
After all I have a strict firewall between my VMs internal network and the host
It will definitely help, but then again, it depends whether the VM is more important to you than the host I suppose. Also, you have to consider the use case of having the VM in the first place. In my case, it is purely for learning and experimentation purposes.
The VM is not that important
it is basically my attack box
The whole idea is that I don't want to keep sending openvpn config to the VM since the learning is done on the host
and anyways my host is more secure since it is fully up to date unlike the VM who usually trails behind on software updates
Hello there
Thank you for your response, I am trying to connect with cockpit room
Gave +1 Rep to @ivory spruce
Can you provide a link to the room? Tried to check it but didn't find it in the list.
Hello guys
I subscribed, money was taken from my paypal but the subscription is not active
Have you sent an email to THM Support for it? Please be patient though as standard response time at the moment is ~8 to 9 working days due to AoC event.
Also, when you do drop them an email, do not sent a follow up until after the said number of days above as it will push your ticket down the queue.
I opened a ticket, but i brought this subscription for faster openvpn for these days side quests, 8-9 days, too long...
I have some problems using openvpn with my wifi, so i need that attackbox or some vpn that can work, can't wait for 7 days to get a reply
Have you checked the same with your ISP?
it's complicated, in nutshell it does not connect, and when it does it's super slow
So I have changed my email in tryhackme recently, when i subscribed now again, money was taken but no active subscription, and i receive the confirmation of subscription in my old email...
So i changed back the email address to my old one, i deleted tryhackme automatic payment from my paypal(was using it before), then i paid again and i am subscribed, but i still need the 14$x2 refunded to my paypal
Hello guys,
I am a newbie to tryhackme and i tried to connect via openvpn and its troubleshooting always. Somebody please help
Best to send an email to support@tryhackme.com explaining your situation.
It might take them a little bit to get back to you due to Advent of Cyber, but they will sort it out for you 🙂
Hello.
What are you having issues with?
That's exactly what i am doing right now, I am about to finish the email
I can't connect using openvpn .
Hey, how do we connect to the machines using kali linux ? When I try to create an openvpn connection I don't know how to fill the options
Heyy, i am able to connect to the openvpn, but there's no reach to challenge servers, what's the problem?
i did run the troubleshooting script, and here's the result
Can you try running the command described here?
This should be able to assist you -
Can you share the error you are having when trying to connect?
yes i did, here's the result:
Are you connected to the THM OpenVPN when you ran the command?
Im on mac, it can be different
I am already connected
but don't have access to machines
Oh..
There were folks who were able to connect using their Mac though.
the room you shared for openvpn, i open the last machine but i can't reach it
I had no problem before, idk what's happening now
VPN script is built for Debian
yeah i see
Screenshot the output of sudo openvpn username.ovpn
Install homebrew, don’t use OpenVPN connect
Ok will install it now
Install homebrew -> install openvpn from homebrew
Okay
Thanks seems working with this cmd
btw direct cmd openvpn does not work after brew install
used "sudo /usr/local/opt/openvpn/sbin/openvpn OptiVoid.ovpn"
to get it to work
In the exact same situation. There is a bug in the subscription system thats causing this (due to the email change).
Took them 7days for the first ticket for them to see and reply. They did initiate a refund and ask me to try subscribing again.
But the issue on the site is still not fixed. So Back to waiting for their reply since two more transactions with different payment methods didn't work either.
hello. it is a general problem that i have found (i think) how can i copy the left content (splitted sides) to past it correctly in the right side? i mean from the right side i can copy it with shift+ctrl+c but when i do it on the left side it will open devtools from the browser. it also is not in the clipboard if i right click and copy it. do you know what i mean?
Got it, i have switched to my old email and cancelled the automatic paypal payment, then approved agin and subscription activcated, but now sent them email to refund the first 2 payments with failed subscription
That’s an issue with your environment, make sure to close and reopen your terminal to refresh the environment variables
sure, everything's fine now, thank you for help

Very good. But I'm running Windows. After a bruising fight which sapped my will to live, I got it to run under WSL (Ubuntu). But it said OpenVPN not installed! Not installed under WSL - the script clearly can't recognise that that there's a good Windows install.
Hi, newbie here. I am finding it difficult connecting with openvpn. Can someone assist me?
What's up?
I downloaded the openvpn profiles and have switched servers several times but it is not connecting still
Hello i just payed 1 month subscription premium can anyone tell me how do i cancel the automatic renew sub thing after it ends?
Which os?
If you cancel it now, it won't renew.
Yes but how i cant find it?
Windows 11
Did you download the communities download one?
I downloaded the openvpn connectv3 for windows 11
https://openvpn.net/community-downloads/Use that one please. 🙂

Hey guys, I would like to know how often do the 20% discounts appear for the annual sub as well as if the website accepts euros rather than dollars?
Yearly.
During Black Friday/AoC.
Aside from that, random times via email
There is a student discoubt
I would buy with a student discount for 80 dollars but is it only sold via $ ?
Which country are you in?
There might not be a currency display for your country?
but is there generally?
I am also wondering If I should hop on for the annual now or wait for the event to end to see If I win something, cause I guess, even if I win a sub, they won't stack, right?
No, but you'll get a 12 month voucher code which you can use at anytime.
(if you don't have an active sub)
I am also kinda new but had previously bought a sub and completed two paths
Even after a year?
The cdes don't expire 🙂
You need to verify your account, you can do this using /verify
Now it has connected. Thank you!

Happy Hacking.
Hello !
Back on tryhackme after a short absence, I can't find the forum. Has it been deleted?
Yes, the forum now re-directs to the Discord.
Oh I see
Is there any help for the VPN connection problem? The forum had a thread pinned for that.
Here.
What's up?
Are you using Eu-Reg-3?
Indeed
Change to Eu-Reg 1 or 2 please.
Yeah. that was sorted and changed to all VPN profiles to reflect the change OpenVPN made. 🙂
Nice! 🙂
Decided to buy the annual, think will be worth it
This the room link: https://tryhackme.com/room/cmspit
But I don't think it is related to the room, because I tried to connect to different rooms and I get some problem
I need a refund on a charge on my account and I sent a message to support on Dec 4 and still no reply or refund how do I get ahold of support if don’t reply.??
Wait patiently please, they are busy with the event.
Thanks for reply
Hello, is it possible to remove the credit card information after subscribing? so it removes the possibility to renew without providing card information
If you cancel it, it won't renew.
There is also a charge bee portal link in the pinned posts.
when i cancel, it offers the possibility of renewing without asking for credit card details, can i remove the credit card information so it does not happen?
I've just told you what to do.
sorry i don't understand, i cancelled but this option appears:
"i made a grave mistake. don't let my subscription expire!" restore the subscription button
Yeah, just don't hit that button.
the thing is that i want to subscribe a friend, but dont want to let him renew with my card..
Then do what I said, and log in to the chargebee portal in the pinned posts.
or buy them a voucher instead.
Check the pinned posts in this channel
thank you, that worked
No problem! 😄
Hi, I'm searching high and low and am hoping to get some clarification. I have a monthly subscription that expires 12/19, and I want to take advantage of the discount. I can't use the discount with the vouchers and the chargebee portal also doesn't offer upgrading from monthly to annual.
Am I out of luck with taking advantage of the discount?
Yes. as the discount ended yesterday
I emailed them a week ago, and still haven't heard back…is there another way to get with the support team?
It says offer expires 12/8 23:59:59 GMT. Isn't it only 18:47 GMT?
That's the only way I'm afriad.
They're jam packed with emails.
Was it extended?
I thought I read it ended on the 7th.
The "LAST CHANCE" email I got yesterday says Friday 12/8 23:59 GMT. But aside, it sounds like there's no way to do a direct upgrade if the monthly hasn't expired.
Thank you, I will be more on the ball next year 🙂
Hey
I have a problem with split screen
After loading I have just white screen
I’m stuck on payment pending page for 30 min now. lol help 🤠
my streak just reset 😦
oh noes... how far had you gotten???
not so far like 7 days
ah not to much worth it to ask for a streak reset by support team then
still hurts a bit but when you get over 30 days it sucks a lot more
and now reset to 1. I'm doing daily AOC tasks so there is no chance to miss day.
yeah assuming you do it within your normal hours as the reset for your streak happens at midnight your time
tryhackme is smart that way
i.e it bases the reset for the day on the ip you used when you first signed up to tryhackme and loged in
Getting a 500 error when trying to create a room, any ideas why?
Hi, i want to join the room "Breaching Active Directory", every time i want to join it forwards me to "My Rooms". Need help.
okay apparently it was the avatar that was causing the problem
you need to have a minimum of a 7 day streak to join said room
unless you are subscribed
thank you. where do i find this information?
if you open the learn tab and scroll down to the bottom it shows the required streak number on the network rooms
this only applies to network rooms
hey -- I want to participate in aoc with my main account but my work has a workspace which requires a thm account with a work email. Can I have my work account stripped of prize possibilities so my main account remains legit? or do I just have to not do the challenges on one account?
I just purchased premium with the discount, and still got charged for the full amount. Even their invoice email shows the discounted price to charge me. But my bank was charged 108 in full.
Nvm, it was the currency conversion that made the price higher, and it just happen to convert to the same price as what shows as the undiscounted annual. I thought it was Euro and mispriced. It was actually GBP.
Just do the aoc on your main account, don't do rooms on your work account.
Only the AOC room.gives you tickets.
108 is the discounted price.
If you pay monthly it works out as 126
I was paying annually with the AC2023 discount. Which came out to 86. But I was paying in USD so I got charged 108 on my card.
Just didn't realize the currency conversion from GBP to USD would come out to 108
I have to use the work account for the work event though
I took a yearly subscription, money was deducted but the subscription didn't 1 day passed. Any advice ?

did they solve it?
After an hour, the VM is now at 57%.
It shouldn't take that long at all, I'd try and restart the machine and run the command again.
It's showing TLS_ERROR : Bio read tls_read_plaintext error .........

And the time mulptiplies by two each time and get stuck by 300 seconds
What am i supposed to do now ?
What VPN server are you trying to connect to?
The same vpn i downloaded from tryhackme
I mean if its EU-Reg-1, IN-Reg-1, etc?
EU-Regular-3
Use other servers instead. It has a known issue that THM is already aware of.
Which one is preferred?
It worked with IN-Regular-1
Thank you so much
Any server except that one. Ideally somewhere closest to where you are.
Okay 👍🏻
i've tried to reset my password and I havent recieved a password reset email
Have you checked it in your spam folder?
If its not there, suggest to drop an email to THM Support.
Hello, I have a problem: I had a streak freeze on day 7 of my streak, but probably through that I didn't get a 7 day badge... Now I'm on day 8 of my streak and still didn't got a badge. How do I fix this?
so i got bored an tried to run the troubleshooting script. it keeps telling me MTU value failed at 1000, aborting MTU check. but mine is set at 1500.
How can I get a animated profile picture?
This is outside THM Support, but it seems you'll have to purchase Nitro via discord.
I mean in the tryhackme website
sorry for being unclear
Can you check if running this command would help?
Oh. I've no idea. We'll have to wait for others to chime in.
I suppose so
My internet connection is very good, but the machines react to commands very slowly. Is there a way to speed it up?
you might wanna try another browser, just for testing it
it didn't help came back with same error
you might need to try a different vpn access point or try a different target machine.
Are you using your own VM or the Attackbox?
Are you able to connect to the VPN or not? The command I shared should be run while connected to THM OpenVPN.
oh i can connect to the vpn. I was basically trying to see if there were lingering errors. thats why i was running the troubleshooting script
The command was meant to adjust the packet size in case you experience any issues connecting to any target machines. Also, are you using a Debian based VM?
i am. i'm running kali
I responded to them in AOC, this is for you:
GIFs are not supported at the moment. Users that have a GIF profile picture added it before we removed support for it.
It does say you can use GIFs on the profile page, this is an error
its ok. i'm moved on to doing something else now. so i'd consider it resolved.
Im having issues with the ovpn occasionally disconnecting
Ive tried changing servers between EU Regular 1 and 2
Only trying to access from 1 local Kali VM
Kali is up to date
This problem arrises when I try to connect to the vpn after downloading the connection file
any ideas?
Which server?
either of the EU
As in 1,2 or 3?
as I am checking, with any of the servers
Which country are you in?
bulgaria
and now the opwn vpn is not connecting with new profile
on the forums people say that the data-ciphers fixes it but it doesn't
I get the same error on htb running starting point for example
but don't have any problems running the academy
strange
have you tried running the openvpn troubleshooting script from tryhackme? I was just having some issues and after running the script it was magically fixed
It said as if I am not connected to the internet
Hi the access page says ia m connected but 10.10.10.10 doesnt work
and my open vpn just keeps spinning
What is the openvpn output?
Ah alright
will it work if I deprecate to lower openVPN version?
I dont know, it should work with the newer versions just fine. I would make sure you are not using the EU-3 VPN server and try to regenerate and redownload your config file to see if that helps you
keep trying but it doesn't work, already created a ticket
guess will use the attackbox for now
Which os?
Which country?
You asked earlier)
It got to do something with certificates I believe
As both tryhackme and htb are now working for me giving the same openvpn errors but only htb academy openvpn works
They both use different protocols.
if you’ve been switching vpn connections. You should regenerate your key before trying to connect to your new one.

Hello, hope all is well. Got a slight issue with the Breaching Active Directory room. It seems I have no way to generate a config file. I have tried a few things such as leaving the room and rejoining it. Also, regenerating my config file as well. Each time it comes up empty. I do have a VIP account. Any help is greatly appreciated! 🤘🏼
can you leave the room... wait 15 mins... rejoin the room go there again and hit regenerate vpn button... wait 3 mins... download the vpn file and try again???
if that does not work shadow would hope tryhackme staff can help
Will do! Thank you!

Is it the right place to ask if I am looking for a specific subject and cant find rooms on it ?
I am looking to learn radare2.
I already know assembly 86 I would like to learn a software to do reverse engineering and binary exploitation. Radare2 is the one included with kali linux.
There are good tuto on youtube but I realy like the structure of thm that divide things into rooms and tasks.
Or is there an other suggested software ?
Good day. Im going through the Intro to Malware Analysis room and for task 6 it asks to review the hash results for redline sandbox report on Hybrid Analysis generated on Dec 9, 2022. No report exists for that date.
Hi does anyone have issues with the AU VPN serer? Constant issues with bad packets/ drop outs
I ran into this problem as well
I'm finding alot of the content is frustratingly out dated / a number of the older rooms are broken
I got locked out of my account due to 2FA emailed thm response till now been 7 days
Response time is 7-9 days excluding weekend.
hi, i can't access the machine from side quest 2 from my machine using my vpn, someone can help me please?

Make sure you give them enough information. If for some reason they can't connect the dots on the back end, it'll probably be a while before they get back to you. It's been a couple of weeks now and I'm burning time on AoC. CTF team is waiting for my subscription to do the Side Quests lol
Side quests are free rooms.
Ahh I assumed they weren't lol. Either way, even after it has been picked up, it can take a loooong time for a response, so give them everything they need on the first go around.
Hi! I successfully fixed my problems related to OpenVPN configuration and the Dedicated Page on TryHackMe website states that I'm connected. Anyway, while running the VMs, if I try to type in (Example) http://10.10.241.70 the page doesn't load.
Is there a web server at the ip?
Yes. I'm using a WSL, with a X410 Server on Windows to use GUI applications like Firefox to be able to see. Could it be a problem? In ifconfig the tunnel is correct.
Can you do
ip a | grep "tun" please.
6: tun0: <POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UNKNOWN group default qlen 500
inet 10.9.157.213/16 scope global tun0
7: tun1: <POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UNKNOWN group default qlen 500
inet 10.9.157.213/16 scope global tun1
That's why, you should only have one.
sudo killall openvpn -9
Then reconnect once.
Thanks a lot!

I've retried all the procedure, one tun running, but the Firefox Instance that I'm running from the WLS seems using my eth0 of Windows
Hi everyone! O/
I can't ssh into murphy@ipaddress from my own kali machine, but I can ssh into murphy@ipaddress from the attack box. Anyone have an idea why this could be? I deleted, refreshed, and re downloaded my vpn file just in case
I'm having this issue while working on the metasploit exploitation room
What is the output of your openvpn? Can you talk to the machine at all?
No I can't ping or scan the machine, it's basically dead unless I'm on a THM Attack or Kali box
Strange, that openvpn output looks just fine. You are making sure to keep the tab with the openvpn open at all times right? You're not like closing it to then type in commands? Also could you share the IP with me so I can look at it on my end?
I think it has to do with the openvpn version I'm using. Ever since I upgraded to the latest Kali I've been using a newer version of openvpn and it has been struggling with connecting to THM
Although the last time I deleted, refreshed, and downloaded my vpn file I was able to get a proper connection
this time it didn't work though
Which IP do you need?
The IP of the victim machine, the one you are trying to ssh into. Also I don't think there is an issue with the VPN, the output shows it is working just fine from what I can see
10.10.108.203
Hmm, I can ping it just fine myself, can you show me the output of ip a on your kali?
Which version do you have?
openvpn --version | awk '{print $2}' | head -n 1
I'm in 2.6.7
You look like you're on 2.6.3
Yea i am
Maybe I need up upgrade then??
Which country are you in?
I think one of the rooms is bugged. where can i verify that?
U.S.
Which room?
I started the machine and attack box but it's not showing up, helpppp
How do I change my location?
For your tryhackme account?
Yes
Make sure all of your VPN's are turned off and then go to this link https://tryhackme.com/api/user/update-timezone. It will just redirect you to the dashboard, but it should change your account location based on your IP.
Thanks!

Hi everyone! I was browsing through the channel trying to find the answer for the vpn issue. Whenever I download vpn file for Wreath Network it's completely empty. I tried switching vpn servers and regenerating files, but nothing worked. I email the support, but in the meantime I just wanted to check with you guys, maybe you have solution. Thank you!
Weird issue for me, browsing my badges and the OWASP Top 10 badge for me shows someone elses details
As much as I would like to have a 750 day streak, I can't say I would manage that
All my other badges show the correct name/details
oh wow that is a whack bug
could you repost this in #site-bugs as this is definitely a bug and a weird whacky one at that
Will do
Hi, everyone! I've referred the website to a friend but when he tries to apply the referral code, it says it's invalid coupon code. Has anyone faced similar issues?
You'll have to drop an email to THM Support for it.
tyty
Has anyone else noticed that when connected to the VPN tryhackme.com has a big delay?
No, but trying to ssh into a machine u start is a nightmare, connection refused over and over until suddenly its connected lol
Make sure you are giving the machine 3-5 minutes to fully boot up, that may be why you are not able to connect right away
I'm not talking about VMs. The VPN somehow is interfering with connection to tryhackme.com
Ah that's strange, are you running multiple VPNs at once that might be causing issues?
No.
It's strange when I refresh the page it spins for about a minute and then proceeds
as soon as i drop the vpn back to normal
or if I view the site outside of my kali VM its fine
the vpn is doing something. DNS should be cached
all other sites are normal
When you encounter the same issue, I suggest that you add -vv to assist you in troubleshooting it.
I'm having the same issue, i have to constantly drop the VPN and reconnect. Troubleshooting the VPN is taking longer than the actual courses
Perhaps the VPN is saturated
No, a username and a password is required for you to establish a SSH connection.
can someone from the support can help me with all of those connection issues?
im losing it
What is the error message you are getting?
the attackbox keeps disconnecting, and i cant access the webservers from my kali using my vpn
realy i dont get it, what has changed

can someone help please, I can't finish some rooms because Netcat not working with me idk why, when I upload any reverse shell it's not responding I also added my IP on the php reverse still nothing happened
It's still istening, it hasn't caught a connection yet
that's the problem I click the file on the website it's not responding
this is making me crazy
Perhaps it's the wrong php extention 😉
What command do you use for the revshell
check the pic
you mean in the file
Ye the reverse shell on the target, not the listener
You changed ip and port accordingly?
yes, I try different ports still the same
And you have confirmed the target has php? Idk what room you are on
Most machines have php but not all
The extension.
If PHP does not work, have a google, see what other file types there is for PHP.
I tried it's working when I write nc -l -p 1234 -v
https://www.revshells.com/ I try this website same 😦
Did you change the ip in the pentest monkey one?
yeah and the port
Idk maybe because I use VM or what
I'm sorry to say that but I use this one
Can I have your target IP please?
No, that's not your target ip.
Please delete that
If you started the machine with the green start machine button.
It should be 10.10.xxx.xxx
ok
I caught a connection.
which IP did you put inside the php file
My own tun0
tun0 showing me the openvpn ip
Yeah
phtml
still
try the attack box? it might be your own network setup or your vm setup that's interfering.
Yes but I'll not use attack box all the time
it's just a good check to rule out setup issues - then you know you're doing the steps right and need to adjust your setup.
I cannot get listeners to work at all unless I connect my vm directly to the internet (not going through host) and remove restrictions on it from my router.
hi why is these two rooms are keeps loading ?
https://tryhackme.com/room/avevasionshellcode
https://tryhackme.com/room/runtimedetectionevasion
Loads on my browser just fine.
I don't know how to start SQ2 without the VM on the website - I can't start the VM because I already ran it once today, but I have the VPN
I do have access to the room tho
Web Enumeration v2 https://tryhackme.com/room/webenumerationv2 Task 9. Supposed to find the theme running on a Word Press site, but WPScan says it's not running WP? Checked my hosts file that the site was added, also checked my request with a walkthrough to make sure I had it right.
What IP did you add in /etc/hosts?
Have you looked at having your own VM?
I don't need a VM, I'm running kali as dual boot
nevermind, openvpn on my mac wasn't working properly
but I still don't know how to access the machine
okay, I'm on kali now and the vpn works, just don't know how to access the machine. I have the ip address, pasted it in the browser and nothing came up
10.10.10.10 works tho
hmmm hello why when I make /verify (token) it's say another account already login?
Do you have a second discord account?
Quick question about the website, is there any dark mode?
Yes but my account has been termed

You'll need to ask a mod to de-link it.

No, just when you see them chatting in passing, unsure if they're busy or not.

Afternoon Guys, Can anyone assist with setting up OpenVpn inside my Kali linux VM. I keep getting a Verify Error when it attempts connection and then re-attempts.
Which server are you using, and which country are you in?
@weary spindle Tried using EU-Reg 1 and 3. Connecting from the UK.
Are you using sudo?
Yup. One of the first checks i did.
From the error log it looks like a Certificate Verficatioin Problem
Are you on your own network?
Yup, Ethernet setup to main PC on home network.
Kali setup inside VM Workstations with Network Adapter set to NAT
Van you verify and take a screenshot?
Yeah no problem give me 2 mins.

hey, is there somewhere in this discord i can go for help on connecting to thm via open vpn? i cant seems to get open vpn to work on my host computer

All i know is the openvpn client should work when you import the file - you can try to re-create the file or chose a differnt end point
https://tryhackme.com/access has some detail - run open vpn ad administrator also
from the page: Try download a new configuration file. If this fails, make sure you have the most up to date version of OpenVPN. Otherwise, contact us (help@tryhackme.com) or see our docs for more information.
Theres a discount for Monthly Premium for being an student?
Yup.
Just use your student E-mail.
My school e-mail is problably not in the "whitelist" of edu emails

Either use the chatbox or drop an email
Anyone has error in Breaching AD room? In which I still can't get the right network that I can hardly conect to the DC even in the attackbox.

Hello, just a suggestion about the site: we should be able to recieve and accept friend requests on the site itself rather from email as it's not very user-friendly
i would email support direclty - mods here may not be able to forward that to the proper place

Hello, @west chasm. Could you please orient me how solve invoice issue. I've sent a email to support@tryhackme.com 7 days ago, but I didn't receive any feedback.
Hey, the one you pinged is the THM Bot which I don't think will respond.
On your invoice issue, did you subscribe and still waiting for activation? Or something along those lines? If you've sent an email to THM Support, please be patient as the standard response time is at ~8 to 9 working days at the moment due to the AoC event. During the time, do not send any follow up emails until after said SLA has passed as it will result in your ticket being pushed down the queue.
Thank you for your support.

I see. I will wait for more days. I was activated. Thank you.
I am trying to change my country, i must be tired or it's no where to be found
help would be appreciated
Make sure all of your VPN's are turned off and then go to this link https://tryhackme.com/api/user/update-timezone. It will just redirect you to the dashboard, but it should change your account country based on your IP
If you want to have the country set to somewhere you do not currently reside you would probably have to trick the API by running a VPN from the country you want to show up and then go to link
Thanks that worked! I appreciate it.

When did you email?

Support don't work weekends, and there is a delay due to Advent of Cyber.
Is it normal to not be able to copy/paste into a windows box on the site?
hello all, i just joined tryhackme, and am trying the OpenVPN connection on windows, i followed all the steps (even ran as admin), but still i am getting an error "peer certificate verification failure" not sure where to go from here
tried this now, changed to EU-regular-1 and now getting "open_error: sorry, unsupported optons present in confirguration: unknown/unsupported options (pull)"
Can some one help me, i really have problmes getting a connection from thm maschine over openvpn to my local machine
i always have to switch to the attack box to use a reverse shell, i can connect from my local pc to the thm machine for example, i even installed ufw and allowed any connection on tun0
tried EU-Regular-2 and got a connection time out
I have a problem with the deployed machines: when I start a machine, I have 2 hours to finish it. Just before the time runs out, I extend it by another hour. At some point THM tells me that the machine is about to expire and after a while the page tells me that the machine has expired, although I still have a lot of time left. After these messages, I can't see my machine anywhere and the "Start machine" button is grayed out. I want to restart the machine but I don't know where to look. Where can I see my started machines so that I can stop and restart them? Is this a bug?
i have openVpn client for windows, version 3.4.3
well, the web client works, so i guess i will leave it at that
looks like the site is a bit laggy this morning. i just logged in to answer a question really quick to keep my streak going and noticed that it's pretty slow. don't know if anybody is working on it, but thought i should say something here.
i have noticed this, too. usually i just refresh the page if that happens and the timer fixes itself.
Is it normal to not be able to paste into a windows machine on the site?
AoC box has that little paste window, just wondering
i can copy/paste through the browser. i have to give copy/paste permissions first, though.
if it's through an rdp client, you usually have to enable that functionality in the settings of whatever software you're using to connect.
I'm using the attack box, I have to give permissions to my browser to copy paste?
This seems obsurd lol, but I'm reading jaja
Hello, I'm in the room "Incident handling with Splunk". I start the machine, activate THM vpn on my machine, and go to the IP provided. It seems there is no data in the deployed instance, do I miss something ?
usually you need to give permissions to access the clipboard for that sort of thing
besides, don't you think it would be a little worrysome if your leet hacker operating system had access to your computer's clipboard by default?
sometimes it takes a few minutes for the local webserver to start up.
np dude :p
yeah i just tested it out. looks like it took almost 5 minutes to all spin up but it's working for me.
Everytime I try to do a room with a Windows box for eg "Microsoft Windows Hardening" (https://tryhackme.com/room/microsoftwindowshardening)
When I spawn the Windows box it loads on the side and then just a blank
I don't have problems with the Attackbox or anything like that, just those side-panel Windows boxes
Typical WIndows
how are you guys sharing your screen shots?
Just copy-paste/drag-and-drop the screenshot?
I can't lol
cant right click and paste or drag and drop
is it because I am using the app rather than in a browser
???
Nope, doesn't matter ... I can't do it
in either app or browser
maybe. i don't use discord through the browser.
idk what about the plus symbol next to where you type
and click on "upload a file"
link your thm account to this server
i don't remember how i did it but there is probably instructions on how to verify your account through one of the bots
you need to have the verified role to probably have permissions to do anything like that
the whole point of that is that people can't just make burner accounts and come in here spamming nonsense
AWESOME THAT WAS IT
you're killing it
Now ... What in the world am I doing wrong here?
idk. unfortunately i have to go for now. maybe somebody else can help you out.
No worries! Take care! Thanx for your time
I will wait here patiently jaja
posted screen shot to show have it typed in correctly
but get error invalid syntax
try asking in #room-help
Hey Guys! I'm not sure if it's just me, but in the Advent '23 room on Day 13 the split screen messes up the picture-text layout. Just to let you know 😉 Or maybe it's just me....
hi i know this sounds dumb but are there any ways to increase the 1hr free user duration for attackbox?
Pay for a subscription is the only way to extend the attackbox.
Or get lucky and win one.
gotta go with this one ahaha
Do you have the resources for a virtual machine?
i do yeah
You can do that, just download the OpenVPN from your profile and use that.
Anyone have the same problem?
I'm in the Windows Local Persistance Room
where is the config.inf file you are told to edit?
you do this
secedit /export /cfg config.inf
then tells you to open it
Where is it?
any chance someone could help w/ account? (Just resetting password) can provide whatever proof needed etc identity speaking; but long story short my dumb ass locked myself out of my acc unsurprisingly i think
at least like did i change my username or am i retarded i honestly dont know and at this point....
Most Linux boxes are cool tho, no idea why some are just broken like that
You need to contact support via email
RDP works but the resolution which I can't change is very small
Push the icon with the two arrow inside the box
true chad here
please anyone reply to this its not solved until now
Are you using the communites download?
can you keep the link of openvpn what i need to download
i have downloaded what i seen in thm site
The OpenVPN community shares the open source OpenVPN. Download the latest version of the open source VPN release OpenVPN 2.6.3 for a secure network.
Yes, you just need to ask a moderator, and they will DM you so can prove it. 🙂
ok where in their dms or should i need to tag them here
Just when you see them speaking, they may be busy.
my subscription just got auto renewed and I didn't want to renew it how can i ask for a refund? Contacted
hello, I have been facing issues with tryhackme premium subscription it has been 1 week i have submitted ticket yet no reply i have been charged already yet not updated my account to premium
Support is a longer delay due to AoC, don't worry, they will get back to you. 🙂
Alright thank you will wait
What command are you using?
Hey. I have noticed something weird with the website. If I open tryhackme on my machine (mac) with Safari - everything is good. But when I try to use Kali on a VM, open the website with Firefox, I get weird bugs like - the IP of the machine is not shown, when I submit a question and then refresh the page - the questions are reset (no submissions). Any ideas why this might be?
Gotcha, just wasn't sure if was someone in here could contact directly. All good though, as suspected I am indeed.. just retarded unlucky. But account all good
Have you tried the browser in your kali VM in other sites to make sure the problem isn't isolated or limited to THM? How have you configured the kali VM on your host?
I can open tryhackme.com and other websites just fine. The problem is when I submit questions or run machines. Some sort of visual bug I guess, because when I submit a question trough the VM's Firefox, I see it as submitted in the host Safari browser
Do you by any chance have your Burp Suite open (with Intercept being turned) on when it happens?
Is there a way to view the active boxes? (so I can terminate them)
Never used Burp Suite since I set up the VM
https://tryhackme.com/api/vm/running
This will show which rooms are open.
I always click “Terminate Machine” at the end of a lesson (specifically for AOC23) but I will get popups on the site after I’ve already terminated that state my machine is running out of time for the day.
Does the limit of 1 hour tie to the first initialization of a machine regardless of how long it runs?
It corresponds to the use of the VM attached to the task (assuming you are not talking about the Attackbox). If you've already terminated it and not having issues spinning up other VMs, you're all good.
Love u man

Hi. I'm trying to connect to the linuxprivescarena room but the open VPN is not working for me. Can you please help?
Heya all, not sure if this is the right place to post...but my subscription lapsed and I lost my subscriber tag...i've resubscribed but the tag hasn't repopulated/updated....something I can do to get that back? Its a little thing lol
either reverify with the bot or wait for the bot to automatically update your profile
how do I reverify? I tried sending the !verify <token> command again...it didn't respond D:
We use slash commands now
/verify
i have a question about swag shop, how can i get the discount on the merch if i have more then 45 hacking streak points and the other question, is there an option to switch the payment method from paypal to debit
You'll need to E-mail support.
Check the pinned posts for a chargebee link. Sorry, I assumed you were talking about subscription changes
You can only pay with the payment method presented on the swag store
Hey are you good?
Done!
hello there
my Subscription has renewed just rn, and I want to delay it to next month or later, I mean I dont want to use it now, can I do so?
Is your subscription annual or monthly? If annual, you can request for a refund within 7 days of renewal and simply re-subscribe when you plan to use it.
monthly
hey I'm trying to remote desktop into my vm from my actual machine but cant get it to work
the room only says Log in as the standard user and try to install this program. To do this, you can remote desktop into the machine as the standard user account.
anyone can quickly run me through this? on voice is possible too
Is anyone having trouble connecting via openvpn today?
it works fine for me
TLS Error: TLS handshake failed
try redownloading your ovpn config file
the <THM Username>.ovpn file
I've already regenerated .ovpn files, even from different servers in Europe, but the effect remains the same.
is your vm synced properly to timeservers?
also are you connected to the internet
I haven't been having any problems connecting to the thm vpn
also your firewall might be blocking the vpn connections
the pop ups about rooms i terminated a while back telling me they are about to expire are just annoying
Which country are you in?
this was the problem, thanks a lot for your hint
Gave +1 Rep to @trail sapphire
