If you're reffering to OVPN i use the cli

weary spindle
#

Yeah, that's why.

You want use the CLI.

sudo openvpn path/to/file/filename.ovpn

sonic zodiac
#

yeah, done that

weary spindle
#

So it's like that?

You don't use the network manager at all to use the VPN?

Oh, we can att pictures! let me show you

Not sure I understand the question. This is my own instance of Linux running on my VMware, trying to connect to OVPN, it's not a specific room

Hi there, not 100% sure if this is the best place for this, but I've been having some odd issues with connecting to TryHackMe via OpenVPN on a Linux machine. It connects just fine, but immediately runs into this issue where it basically freezes. I'll attach the logs from the ovpn file in a thread here so I don't take up a ton of space. Basically it seems to be running into some kind of issue and pausing, then after a couple minutes it seems to start working again, works just fine for a minute or two, and then freezes once again. I downloaded my ovpn file from TryHackMe through the Access button on top, moved it to my home directory, and basically I'm executing it with sudo openvpn myUserName.ovpn - I created a shell script whose contents is just this one line. When I execute the shell script, it prompts me for the sudo password, and then begins to run like normal.

#

Ah, evidently I can't make a thread, so here are the logs. These are not all of them, but you can see that it seems to repeat after a point (about 2 - 3 minutes). I excised the beginning of the one from 23:12, but left all of the logs from 23.14.

When I try to connect to the target box's IP (after Start Machine on a room), it just hangs for a long time until it eventually goes through, though one time it actually timed out while I was doing a BurpSuite Repeater request. Once it actually timed out I hit send again and it went through immediately. But then again after a couple minutes it went back to frozen.

#

It's really more annoying than anything else, but I was hoping maybe someone would know "oh yeah, duh, you're doing X wrong"

#

I have tried deleting the ovpn configuration file and redownloading (which I saw through some online research). I have also tried executing the sudo openvpn command manually in the terminal, instead of running the shell script. No luck on either front.

#

This problem just started this evening, it was not happening yesterday or this morning

#

It happens whether Intercept it On or Off as well

#

Worth noting some details:
Kali Linux 2023.2 (ARM)
Kernel: linux-6.3.0-kali1-arm64
BurpSuite version: 2024.2.1.3
OpenVPN version - I don't know, but I just installed it yesterday
Firefox 115.0.2esr (64-bit)
FoxyProxy 8.9

#

It happens regardless of if BurpSuite is open (with or without a target set), or FoxyProxy is running my Burp configuration. Every time the openVPN logs cycle through every ~3 minutes it stops working for just about 2 minutes (perhaps related to the ping-restart 120?)

#

I might have found a possible solution - waiting now to see if the issue happens again, will report back

#

✅ Looks like this did it. I kept researching, and discovered that one possible cause for this issue is that there may somehow be two running instances of openvpn. I saw this early on, and had checked using ps aux | grep OpenVPN or something along those lines, but it only returned one instance (one PID). Then when I came across the same idea on another article, it recommended just trying killAll openvpn, so I did, and sure enough there were two that died. I started a new instance, and it seems to be working fine again...

Hi there, Can anyone help me? I have completed a room and would like to generate a report for it. Kindly let me know if its possible to generate one?

#

May be that changing the region changed it for one and now they aren't competing

but I've now added sudo killall -e openvpn to my shell script right before starting it, just in case. That seems to have helped.

There are certificates that THM provides for some challenges, usually as part of a Learning Path I believe

#

I don't think there's anything for individual rooms

wooden timber
old elbow
#

Don't know what to tell ya, someone else might have some more information. Keep an eye out for certificate progress.

#

In order to get your certificate you should complete the course. Certificates allow you to prove your education.

#

I can't share a screenshot on here, but the tracker is found on the learning path page

#

There's also Badges, which are typically earned quicker than a whole certificate, and represent a specific group of learnings

#

For example, if you finish a module about Metasploit, you get a badge. Some individual challenge rooms have their own badges, like the Mr. Robot room

#

For what it's worth, I highly recommend learning paths, they're really fun and package together a lot of useful topics

ruby wolf
weary spindle

try decreasing your MTU

ruby wolf
#

decreasing ?

#

to 1200 for instance ?

weary spindle
#

Yeah

naive dust
#

What if you do -p1-1000?

weary spindle
#

You may be making them too big and it's fragmenting the packets.

ruby wolf
#

it dont looks working to decrease my mtu

weary spindle
#

What command did you use?

ruby wolf
#

nmap -p-

weary spindle

I meant to decrease your MTU

It looks like your system time is an hour behind, did it properly update for daylight savings?

3600 seconds = 1 hour

naive dust
# bronze vale Is your system time correctly set?

Hello Sir, my time in my system is actually exactly 02:24 p.m, but in phone (actually i saw in this day) is 1 hour + , but this was happening me days ago before this happend me with time, i mean i had this problem before i saw the time in phone was different to the time of pc, you think is for this?

Just a quick question/support; some of my certifications from the learning paths have the new format and design applied but some of them have kept the old format (I redownload them once I noticed the format and design changed). Is it all being updated to the new layout across the board or do I just have two different format and designed certificates now?

it means you are connected to the vpn

to check on your kali open another terminal window and run curl 10.10.10.10/whoami

It still shows I am not connected even I refreshed it

#

I am confused it does say I am connected when I use curl

because it gives me an ip

the access page is known to be buggy and broken

do not rely on it for checking if you are connected

if the curl command outputs an ip you are connected

So, I'm trying to get some hands on experience with virtual machines by installing one on my computer. I actually was working with some people to set up a whole lab but my computer can't handle that much, but I figured I could use the machine I set up with TryHackMe rooms. I'm just a little confused on whether or not I need to use the OpenVPN? Reading some FAQs it sounds like I can just SSH in from my new VM, since I do have an active subscription. Am I understanding this correctly? Or do I still need to set up OpenVPN?

I'm having some trouble with the attackbox and burp suite. Seems the "burp browser" doesn't work on the attack box, I disabled sandboxing (as I get an error message saying the OS can't run it in a sandbox for whatever reason) but then when I click to open the burp brower it never seems to boot.

I imagine I could try foxyproxy or whatever to link burp suite to FireFox instead, but I've always just used built in browser and found it extremely convenient with no hassle to set up.

EDIT: Seems you just gotta use foxyproxy on the attackbox, it's weird because a few days ago I swore I as able to use the burp browser in it

Best practice is not to use root as your primary user.

Tools are installed different when you use the root user and this can result in a lot of unintended outcomes.

Furthermore, the ‘sudo’ utility executes with elevated permission which means you’re using sudo in that command for no reason 😅

hello, I am unable to connect to tryhackme vpn using gnome networkmanager, but I am able to connect using the terminal. I am kind of frustrated because I had an arch linux install that was working that this problem started on first, so I thought it was my arch install. I completely wiped arch and installed ubuntu LTS and I am still having the same issue. I have tried switching servers and regenerating the openvpn file but I am not having any luck. I have my syslog file but unsure how to upload it here

I am using US West VIP. Connecting using network manager is mainly a convenience thing, but if it's happening in two OS'es I unsure if it is my system.

Hello, I cant seem to connect via openvpn. I was using WSL2 and I would get the standard "Initialization Sequence Completed" but back in the THM access console it wouldnt show connected and I couldnt connect to the virtual machine instance for the lab.

Then I figured maybe it was some weird issue with how WSL is config so I spun up an instance of Kali in VB and same thing but now I get this after: "Initialization Sequence Completed
2024-04-14 07:33:05 Data Channel: cipher 'AES-256-CBC', auth 'SHA512', peer-id: 64
2024-04-14 07:33:05 Timers: ping 5, ping-restart 120
2024-04-14 07:33:05 Protocol options: explicit-exit-notify 3
"
This explicit exit.

So then I thought maybe there was some unique identifier in the config so I regenerated a new and same thing. but I see a connection to tun0 so Im lost and really really want to get this setup working:
tun0: flags=4305<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,NOARP,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

#

Yea but I cant access the target machine

tribal mason
#

By access, what do you mean?

#

ping?

vernal wigeon
#

Hmm.. Ok ofc now it works. I mean in this case since the lab spins up a browser instance if I paste the IP of the attack machine in the browser after connecting to openvpn it would just timeout

#

I think the issue was that I wasnt opening a browser instance from my guest OS running while using WSL

#

Simple mistake to make

#

You guys are so responsive with your help and feedback btw! Thank you big time

tribal mason
#

You're welcome

wind wedge
#

WSL can sometimes be a bit unstable with the VPN

tribal mason
#

Yeah, I recommend VMWare

vernal wigeon
#

Its just WSL is SOOOO much faster

tribal mason
#

You can also try Hyper-V Manager which is installed by default on Windows

#

It's very fast

naive dust
# weary spindle You may need to use something bigger, the page will be too small.

But as I said, the message that tells me that there is a problem with the screen display does not appear to me when I use this application. I have completed all the tasks that require this feature ( big screen) with this application, except this one, And the displaying was complete without problems like Desktop
In any case, there is no logical hypothesis other than the size of screen, I have a large tablet, but I cannot open this site on it. Most sites do not open completely like Reddit, Github..

Troubleshoot on your vm or network.

No, the server did not tell me to use a larger screen. This message appeared on the regular browser, but not on the one I used for the THM platform. This is what I was saying. But logically there is no other hypothesis other than the size of the screen. What would it be other than this!!
Maybe Just because the other tasks were displayed on the screen as they should, and I were able to complete them, does not mean that this task should be the same as them.

As You said, this site is not intended for phone screens

My openvpn works and gives me an internal ip(acces looks good and kali also displays the internal ip) yet when i try to do a room the internal ip isnt displayed and it still says "access machines". I can access everything correctly only that part bothers me a bit as i am used to seeing the internal ip there for quick reference.
