use continue with google feature
If I did this, it logs in with a vanilla account, not the one I have been using
When I had it, i just typed Shetry in the username field
Give a password
No, that will create a new account.
Yes exactly
How?
Because it's a seperate account creation process.
i am in login page not signin page
It's the same thing.
but the gmail is attached to that thm account so why it will say to create a new account?
I get the updates on my email like hey khalidblabla come solve more rooms
The way the accounts set up is different, it will create an entirely new account.
So i don't know if that means it's still connected
Send an email to the team, they will assist you better.
That's the Point how will he create a new account
They don't want to create a new account.
which set up is different, if an gmail linked to an thm account why it will say to create a new account with same gmail that is already linked with a account
i know, he want to recover his account
"Connect with Google" will create a new account using SSO.
can u provide a screenshot when u are trying to login with google
Is there any active thm staff in these channels for troubleshooting?
I have networking issues in a room. Not using vpn, but using the provided attackbox which should be in their networks by default.
Not usuaully, however there is loads of members who are willing to help.
Which network?
Oh ok! thats nice.
So the room https://tryhackme.com/room/cicdandbuildsecurity
the IP given for the gitlab server and jenkins server doesn't respond to icmp or http requests
I have tried to reset it a few times
ip a
Which interfaces do you have?
eth0 with ip
yeah the local loopback interface, but no others
I dmed you
oh sorry
didn't get any dm yet
which one should I post in?
This one
Is there a way for me to pull all my completed rooms with the date that I completed them?
pulling the completed rooms was a piece of cake.. but getting the date is the bit I'm struggling with
Hullo 👋,
I recently got a refund on a early renewal discount, and in that process my currently active subscription has been cancelled, which doesn’t expire until July.
I have some rare free time today and I am not able to continue on my current room. Also, got a streak freeze wasted because I couldn’t access anything due to my cancelled sub yesterday.
Any guidance would be deeply appreciated
Hello, need help on getting the discount subscription but the system is not allowing to charge my account. Thanks!
Got it. It went through after readding it.
Done!

Hi, I have subscription extension offer but my subscription ends in May. So if I extend now will it keep my months between Jan --> May or will it become Jan 2026 to Jan 2027?
u should use PayPal
Uh-oh! The answer you provided may not be in English. Please review it and try again.
i have been facing this issue a lot lately, even though answers are correct its showing the same error.
please check it, i am unable to complete room cuz of such errors. @untold surge
Hello,
It's great that you're conducting a survey on this. I use the VPN all the time, and I have issues unfortunately.
The connection is usually lost after just a few minutes of inactivity (I guess maybe there is a policy in place I don't know). It's not convenient, I have to reconnect all the time. I use tmux to make it a bit less annoying but I still have to reconnect to the VPN, then SSH again, then attach tmux... Not ideal.
I'll do the survey tomorrow, thanks 👍

I just got on the premium last month around the 15th so when does my subscription ends 😔
Hi I submitted a ticket yesterday, but it seems no one picked it up. What is the usual wait time? I am kind of worried
1-3 working days
Is there not going to be a badge for completing the “Advent of Cyber 2025” ?
@crystal marlin @tawdry orbit The Badge of AoC Is Not Updated In Our Profile, It Seems To Be Updated On 31st Dec But Not Updated Yet
I am also Facing That Same Issue
Thats because your answer is wrong.
Did you complete all rooms within December?
Yup I Completed All The Rooms Of AoC
#Prooved
Within December, not only completed in January?
I'll have to ask, but there is a good chance badges have not been issued yet. But might be shortly
Yup I Completed All The Room Within december
Unless you already saw other users having the badge?
Ok Thanks For Confirmation, I Have the Doubt Because In #1440378727682015443 Timtaylor Said The Badge Will Be Updated on 31st December And On My Side It Is Not Updated That's Why I Asked
Gave +1 Rep to @crystal marlin (current: #5 - 1940)
Ah, well maybe the message could be misinterpreted, but means issued "after" 31st, not "on" 31st 😄 But anytime soon I think. I already followed up internally to see when it will be done
Yeah That's Why I Ping U Because It is Already 7 Days Passed After 31st Dec
But No Problem, Hoping The Badge Will Be Rewarded Soon
hello i verified my discord account through the bot but the website doesnt recognize my username
Morning from the UK. I have been without access to my paid sub to THM since Tuesday. Is anyone able to help from the support team?
you will have to contact support@tryhackme.com for subscription-related requests
what do you mean by this sorry?
Have done, still no response.
they are likely still catching up due to the Christmas break, it may take some time
I am sure they will resolve it in the best manner they can
when i enter my discord username on the website it gives me invalid error, despite going through confirmation steps on the website, which is texting the bot /verify token(token i brought from my profile)
hello guys,
I already had premium subscription till may and I again buy subscription in this offer
how will it gonna work?
like it will continue from now or it extend my subscription?
Please anyone who know help🥲
It will kick in once your current subscription ends, so you won’t miss/lose anything 😎
And it also shows free annual discount things
Will I get everything?
Thank You so much @west chasm 😗

If you mean access to all premium content, then yes, if you are a paid subscriber 🥳
I thought the same that's why I went through walkthroughs, The answer was correct.
Website says it all:
“All Free features plus
Full access to learning paths
Unlimited web-based Attack Box & Kali
Faster Machines
Private OpenVPN Servers
Private King of the Hill games
Access to networks”
i cant get in to my windows machine in AD Basics. It just loads and then freezez. Sometimes i get in to the machine but it gets terminated. What can the issue be?
This happened to me, but it would of been during high traffic times. I logged out and back in and it seemed to work the second time around, rarely a 3rd of 4th time was needed.

hey, im pretty sure i paid for exam and it charged me twice so i assumed maybe it was both exams so i left it but just trying to find where i would see what exams i have purchased and how to do them?
Any help would be great
I want to take advantage of the New Year discount and extend my subscription, but the pop-up advert shows a price of $58, while when I try to extend it via the settings, it says $81. What should I do? Any solve?
my start machine button doesnt work can someone help
Have you joined the room? Also, if you can post or share a screenshot of it, that will be helpful.
yes ive joined the room but it still just doesnt open in the side
all i see is the room itseslf
Hi i have a Issue in this room with the Machine
the machine is lagging i cant log in to do anything
Its probable that another machine is active on some other room. Make sure you close all those machines if they exist.
i checked and it isn't, is does open and gives me a machine IP and everything but doesnt show on the right side of the screen
Are you using the machine that is inside the rooms?
With the green button?
If thats the case, then what you are starting are task specific machines. The machine you are referring to is the attackbox / kali linux on top left side of any rooms page.
Click on the button that says "Start Attackbox" and it should open on the side
there isnt a start attackbox
i cant send pictures here but if you want i will send you
Hi, ive been assigned a PT1 voucher through work to my personal account, where can I see where the expiration date of this voucher?
You have to verify first in order to send images
Is there any email notification when it was assigned or granted to you? It should be valid within 12 months from that date to my understanding.
Discord Username must be a valid handle (e.g., name or name#1234). Use 2-32 characters. , error message pops whenever i try to add my discord username, does it even matter ?
Do you offer a money back guarantee if one were to have buyers remorse?
Haven't been able to find one. But im sure my boss said it was only valid until some time in Jan but only had it for 6 months max at this point. No bother either way n thanks for the reply.

@upper beacon
Hello. I'm not sure if I'm just not able to find it, but I'm looking to submit the rooms completed for CEU's. I can see them under "rooms completed" but there is no date. Am I missing where I could find the date I completed a certain room or is it not something available and I have to track myself manually?
Please be patient as the response time can be ~3 to 5 days.
I don't think this information is available in the platform. You can submit an entry for it in #feedback-and-ideas
why did I get this message even though I already paid and my subscription ends in 2 years:
"Your payment card will expire soon. Please update your card details to avoid any disruption to your subscription"
Probably because you have to renew your card
But why does my subscription become invalid if it expires. I already paid
You'd have to ask support for that. I am still waiting to have my ticket addressed since wednesday

Hello, I need help recovering my TryHackMe account as I believe it has been compromised. I can no longer log in using my username and password. Today I received a promotional email from TryHackMe addressed to a different username which I do not recognize. This makes me think my account details were changed without my permission.
Additionally, I am not receiving any “Forgot Password” emails on my registered email address, which suggests the email linked to my account may also have been changed.
Please help me verify the current account details and assist with recovering and securing my account. I’m happy to provide any verification information needed.
Thank you.
Done!
Hey
There is a new system for the vpn. Is it working? Because i'm using openvpn, I re-downloaded the file few times, and pings to machines are unstable
Maldoc room doesn't work it start blinking and connnecting... mod,admin,dev pls fix this thank you
Room name: MalDoc Static Analyst
Works fine for me
Can you provide some shots please ?
You can drop an email to THM Support (support@tryhackme.com) who should be able to assist you.
Which task are you stuck on?
Its blinking like Christmas tree
the screen behavior is strange
Is there anything to do if target machine is lagging ? With good connection/pc ?
Am I the only one experiencing the path enrollment issue? The site freezes when I try to browse the path, specifically SOC1.
How can I request access to make my room available to everyone ?
i cant connect to openvpn from the last few days. it just wont connect. tried regenerating and everuthing jst wont work
👋
Submit it for a review
Can you share the last few lines of your OpenVPN connection log?
It may be due to the resource allocated to the VM.
okey tnx u
oh, thankyou
Seems to be related to the OpenVPN upgrade to v2.6 that otger users have encountered.
that is a spam bot
Done!
so what do I do now???
Hey, is there by any chance the Syrian flag displayed on user profile can be fixed?
Check this article
https://help.tryhackme.com/en/articles/6611897-changing-your-country-s-flag
Posted in a diff channel with no luck
Hope this is the right channel - running into an issue with the owsap juice shop room - task 7 question 2 isn't popping the flag. I've tried numerous times, reset everything. the xss pops, followed completely, and still nothing
@ember osprey actullay the problem is the flag source embbeded in the site, the source is broken
I'm having trouble to maldoc room the VM doesn't start and start blinking , i feel urge to finish it
ello, the vm in active directory basics isnt starting for me, does anyone have a solution?
Wdym it isn't starting?
I click start machine and it starts and then gets stuck on a loading screen
Its a windows loading screen not a thm one
How long has it been loading for?
It was loading for 20m i terminated it about 10m ago
Pretty sure it crashed
Let's put it this way - windows machines are pretty unstable overall so sometimes you have to restart them a couple of times
And in case split screen is not working you can start an RDP client in attackbox and use the machine this way
Ah ok, yeah they do generally seem unstable, it's just weird how it was working perfectly and then stopped all of a sudden
It was working fine yesterday
Yeah, maybe network gets overused or smth - for me it's stuck as well
Strange, I'll answer what I can without the vm and see if its fixed by tomorrow
Good idea
Thanks for the help anyway, enjoy the rest of your day/night

Just opened a ticket but it's worth it to try here. Anyone in the wrong league after the reset?
Hi, I've been writing to the email, but I haven't received a reply.
I, as a paying subscriber, kindly ask you to provide the specific reason for the account suspension with reference to the corresponding clause of your Terms of Service. Because I've read the Terms of Service completely and I'm sure I haven't violated a single rule.

The lateral movement and pivoting room seems to be broken again. I cant ping the thmdc by ip address 10.200.74.101 from the attackbox. Also the latmov_v2 vpn wont connect.

Today I Was Exploring TryHackme New Event But When I Click On Learn More It is Saying 404 Page not Found, Is This a Bug ?
Doing Hard Refresh Multiple Time Fix The Bug Nvm Issue is Solved Now
Ranked up to Ruby last night, got the email but just did my 2 rooms and was promoted from sapphire to gold. any timeline when the ranks will be fixed or was this a rollback?
@tawdry orbit When i am exploring the New Event Cold Start and When i see the Module Some of The Room in it is already completed by me, how did i earn the ticket for that room which is already done by me ?
I had used the reset progress button in the room I already completed and ran through it again and it gave me the ticket upon completion
This is Right I Can also Do This But According To Me That's a bug of tryhackme
why every user reset progress and re do the room to earn ticket if it is already done by the user
thats fair
One question, since I submitted a ticked last wednesday, does that me I wont be eligible for refund for the double charge?
Ticket not getting addressed for so long is worrying
I am not sure if this is the right place to post this. I was top of diamond league on Sunday. I checked today I am in bronze. Is this reset my problem or did it happen for everyone?
Same thing but for sapphire! Finished top 3 but got demoted to Gold
Same, hopefully we get put back in the leagues, this gold league im in is stacked and i dont know if im going to make it back to sapphire haha
(well ruby since i got the email that i was promoted lol)
ofc I did. but same result. doesn't work
Same, not sure how I even got 3500 points😝 new record for me
HOLY! That is insane! Good luck this week, hopefully we all get put back in our leagues
Fingers crossed!
guys does anyone know a tool for tik tok views
Try using the "run" command instead of "exploit".
i did and got the same result
It's been a while, but I think you are supposed to give it a SMBDomain as an option in that room (in your second pic the SMBDomain is a "."). Try enumerating the target with enum4linux or any other smb enumeration tool and see if you can find one.
okay i will try when i get back
so do i take out the . in the domain?
Yes, try replacing it with the domain name you find.
well dont i need to get into the system to get the domain?
I think enum4linux and smb enumeration tools can find domains? Even unauthenticated. You got both user and pass so you can try authenticated enumeration if it fails.
I was on platinum and went straight to ruby
this site falling down hard, all machines have porblem, always connection errors etc..
I have proofs and screenshots with timelines across different machines.
I paid for preimum to use attackbox and 80% of the time:
automticly terminated
I tried to contact support 3 times this month at support@tryhackme.com
no replies whatsoever they ghosted me,
professionalism doesn't exist any more
I also "downgraded" to Gold. Hopefully it's just a temporary issue. I also have "Oh no! You're 0 points from being demoted!" while in second place.
the practice site does not open for me on Humans as attack vectors room, what do?
Hello all. I'm having a problem using Firefox in the attackbox. I keep getting 'connection timed out' error. It doesn't matter what room I go to, pages in the browser just don't seem to load.
hello last week I finished on platinum league in the top of the non promotion zone but this week I am on gold for some reason
Any news from someone at THM about the bug with the wrong league this week? Seems like a lot of people are having this problem.
Was wonder the same thing. Finished 1st place in Sapphire last week and got placed in Gold.
Clearly others are having the same issue too.
I got kicked to silver from diamond lmao
I hope they fix this b/c the last time this same issue happened I wasn’t placed back to the correct league
how to remove subscribe role
To clarify, do you simply want the subscriber role removed or you want to unsubscribe?
I was about to ask about the league, but I guess it's a general problem. I finished 1st in Ruby league and for some reason I ended up in gold. I wonder, will we be put back into our proper leagues eventually?
did they ever address this last time?
They're not even acknowledging the issue so far
i was completed sapphire league last week as a 3rd rank i should promoted to ruby league but they just promoted me to gold league how this is possible help me..
I am getting 502 bad gateway response everytime I try to access the lab via the provided link . Though I am connected to open vpn and everything is fine but still I am getting this since this morning

I'm getting an ubuntu VM in windows room

how are you able to send ss here?
and where n how we manage notifications from thm?
you mean from the website itself? or this server
you got no roles for yourself, grab some from id:customize .. that would fix I guess
from the website yes
um.. I just now surfed into the settings and I found none, no idea
anyone?
That's the attack box .. I think that room also has a separate machine or view that will apply. the attack box is always linux
Check in task 1 if you started the system that belongs to the room
oh, will check that

Thanx
If you head to https://tryhackme.com/business - you will be able to put in a ticket for our sales team

You can use this page also and then fill out the form with purchase licenses and the amount you need. Although responses will most likely be tomorrow when you add it
I have the same problem... yesterday I was in the Diamond League, but now I'm in Bronze for no reason... I've completed more than 2 rooms and still can't get back into the league 🙁 and I'm unranked, but that doesn't make sense... is there any support that could look into this?
Hello
I'v been here a few weeks back, reporting issues connecting to the new premium VPNs.
I'd like to point that these issues are not resolved, and connecting to the VPN still doesn't let me access the machines.

Hey, I'm having difficulty with getting the Windows Machine to work for the Active Directory Basics. It starts to load up the Windows settings then freezes before anything fully loads. I tried to reset the the machine multiple times on two different browsers, but still have the same issue. Does anyone know what may be the cause?
Greeting, I pay for my subscription for THM however, I am struggling to set up a table top exercise. May some please provide assistance on this? Thank you!
Why rooms i did with ticket is not showing up on the dashboard , my dashboard and example of room i did
no split screen is popping up, what to do
Scroll up, if you see a "show split screen" button then click that. Otherwise this is a machine that does not have a dedicated UI. This is probably your first time encountering this. You need to use the Attackbox or your own OpenVPN connection to access the machine.
room: owasp juice shop
what is this
i can't read anything here
i have to select the text for it to be highlighted and then read it
@west chasm is it just me or is there a issue with loading your credly link on your tryhackme profile?
Thats just the bot
Contact support via the website
Wait until you won't be able to read flags. That's why I can't pass that room. No flags popped up whatsoever. Not sure what to do about it.

till when will we get the subscription?
Is the site working because when login i got not found
Me too
why site showing not-found?
I've been trying for 2hrs
I believe THM might be experiencing issues. From what I can see on my end, it looks like a lot of API segments are being blocked due to a CORS policy…? Sounds like a great time to learn about cross-origin resource sharing 😆
Then im taking today off
Honestly, it’s probably DNS. It’s always DNS.
I'm striking 250 days and I don't have freeze 🥲
Yeah, that's the exact same reason I joined here. something seems to be awfuly wrong with THM
I got 4 freezes from The weekly achievement
I used all the freezes, I had my university exam so🥲
Came here to see if it was just me. Guess it's page not found for everyone
Seems like it's just the dashboard though, can access everything else fine
Really? How?
Cuz whenever I try to join a room it gives me 404
Did it through my notifications, never clearing came in handy
My dashboard is now stable…yeehaw we did it, gang! (thanks to whoever fixededed it)
site down? can't get in
It just "died" for me as well :< sent me to /500 and now green circle of DOOM when I try to open the room again
same here
for me like that with Firefox, but OK with Chrome
what is your browser?
Yeah seems like THM is having some issues today
Chrome, but I can try with FF, and IE I guess.
actually, I can reach the login page with Chrome, but cannot go beyond once I have entered my creds, hence not a real success 🙃
Some pages work ^^ the room I was almost done with not so much! 🙁
its real bad today. was jst doing a room suddenly got logged out. then the site just won't load properly
i get 500 when i try to reach dashboard
Yeah but it's not stable. I'm stuck on the room while providing the answer
First I get demoted after ending the week on 1st place xD now I can't finish my room!
that's not good
The room is not showing for me too
i cant even load the homepage lol
just joined the discord server to see whats going on
someone just terminated the machine running the website lol
still 500
I would give it 20-30min so the flood gates have calmed down a little
same here
Am i alone now who have problem with THM?
Is it back ?
seems so
Yes finally
I mean... scroll up xD
yeah 😅 . Now i see it xD
Hi, I’m having trouble connecting to the THM using VPN.
The thm-troubleshoot script shows:
- Internet, OpenVPN, tun0, routes — all good
- Region matches VM region (tried switching too)
- Can’t reach VPN server 192.168.128.1
- MTU optimization skipped
Already tried: - Matching region in account settings
- Restarting OpenVPN
- Different server regions
OS: Arch Linux
OpenVPN version: 2.6.17
There seem to be issues with THM, I've seen several people today with VPN issues, and the website is also struggling in general. So it is probably not on your end.

@west chasm Hi, is there any chance I can report a mistake in a room?(I think?)
That's a discord bot/app so it won't reply. Just list out the mistake and a member of the staff might take a look
I didn't notice it, thank you so much
I think I gonna reach them via email just in case
Whenever i start my machine there isnt a split view button for me to click to get the VM can any1 help me solve that?
Hi everyone, I was taking my SAL1 certification exam today and I experienced a major issue. I had excellent scores in the first two parts (190/200 and 385/400), but during Part 3, the site went down completely for about half an hour.
Because of this outage, I couldn't access the materials or submit my answers, resulting in an automatic 'Fail' with only 15/400 in the final section. I see from DownDetector and other users here that this was a widespread server issue.
I have already sent an email to support, but since this was a technical failure on the platform's side, I would like to know how I can have my attempt reset or my progress restored. It’s very disappointing to fail an exam due to server instability after so much hard work. Any guidance from the staff would be appreciated!
try the #1333993673381253162 channel.
I'm trying to do the AoC 2024 and for day 8 we need to paste stuff into a Windows machine but I'm completely unable to paste anything, even a sentence. Does anyone experiences this ? Is this on purpose ?
Hi there i dunno if its the right chat to ask this but i have a bit of a problem. Cant finish challenge located on networking secure protocols. On the last room, closing notes theres a challenge, but when i press "start machine" nothing happens, no split-screen or blue button at the top for split screen. Tried diferent browses, log in/out, cleared my cookies and shit., still nothing. Anyone knows what can cause this?
Hi guys just wondering, if I cancel my THM business plan subscription 5 days early, will I still be able to use it for the next 5 days or will it completely terminate?
i cant see my recap, i have the same screen as what they got here:https://www.reddit.com/r/tryhackme/comments/1q0hlhu/guys_why_i_dont_see_any_recap_tab/
sometimes the browser cant directly access your clipboard. Try the icons on the menu on the left. 😉

hi I haven't heard anything about this, do we have a solution for this?
I opened a ticket sunday about the league problem( went from diamond to gold) and haven't heard from anyone and i'm still in gold.
I think they might be having a serious issue with this, there are a lot of people with the same problem
sounds about right! Would be nice to at least have an acknowledge they are aware and working on the issue! 🙂
ohh got this popup: Some Leagues Chose Chaos...
About 1% of Weekly Leagues experienced an issue at the finish line!
This may have delayed promotions for a small number of users.
We're investigating this now, and the resolution will be applied automatically. No action needed.

Hello kindly please guide me I am facing a problem with my try hack me swag gift card I win it in the advent of Cyber event 2025 but still I can't receive email from tryhackeme for more details about my swag gift card but I received just only congratulation 💐 message that I won tryhackeme swag gift card of 75 💵 dollar worth..
Kindly guide me what to do next.....??
Thank you for your explanation ! Indeed I see it on the Linux VM but not on the Windows VM 😕
cf the picture
Gave +1 Rep to @small mauve (current: #3538 - 1)
Still facing the problem 🙁
have you tried to set mtu size to 1200 ?
or can you provide the output of /etc/resolv.conf ?
i figured out if you change whats in there to
1.1.1.1
8.8.8.8
it worked for me
also opened a ticket 3 days ago, still not been picked up.
there you can change your email ...
Is anyone experiencing issues with Windows FlareVM? The VM freezes after 90 seconds and doesn't react anymore
Same, I don’t understand why it’s taking so long
whats the issue?
Yes, /etc/resolv.conf -> # Generated by NetworkManager
nameserver 192.168.0.1
with 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 - same problem
The league issue
did you replace the
Generated by NetworkManager
nameserver 1.1.1.1
nameserver 8.8.8.8
Hey I'm new here
whats the problem no connection?
whats the problem?
i cannot access the machines: pinging doesn't work, nor nmap, nor anything.
trying it on machine with split screen, we can see that the machine can't ping me either
whats your tun0 output when you do ifconfig?
i'm currently at work so i won't be able to give an exact output, but it start with 192.168
i need to see the full tun0 output you can DM me when you have time 👍
i'll do that
i got placed 2 leagues down that i was before i just keep making rooms and you will be back on top soon haha
i'm completing the rooms but i'm still not getting the points
I've tried both - MTU 1200 and DNS change to 1.1.1.1/8.8.8.8. Still no luck.
tcpdump shows packets going out to THM server (18.203.72.251:1194) but zero packets coming back.
You cannot ping the machine?
Can you send a screenshot from /etc/resolv.conf?
Yeah, that's weird. Should be there I think.
Hi guys, don't know why I can't perform Nmap scan. Got the message above
I can't attach images [thm-user@arch-vm ~]$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 1.1.1.1
nameserver 8.8.8.8
[thm-user@arch-vm ~]$
alr if you try to ping 8.8.8.8 does this work?
yes
you can go on google or something?
Yes, I can
so then your VPN works fine ..
Yes, when I ping THM target (10.80.172.199), packets go through tun0 but get no reply. The VPN tunnel is up but THM network is unreachable.
[thm-user@arch-vm ~]$ ip addr show tun0
23: tun0: <POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1200 qdisc fq_codel state UNKNOWN group default qlen 500

inet 192.168.132.92/17 brd 192.168.255.255 scope global tun0
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
ok i have no idea why it not working..
You can try connecting to the windows machine directly using a RDP client, like remmina. Then cut and paste should be no problem.
I had the same issue. Funny enough, adding -A to the command solved it.
I want to access Introduction to AWS module content to learn it, I don't want to subscribe to a cloud service because I already have one and I just want to learn the raw knowledge about it, is there a way around the license?
I also have Premium already on THM.
Hi does anyone how I can access the attack box
Hello kindly please guide me I am facing a problem with my try hack me swag gift card I win it in the advent of Cyber event 2025 but still I can't receive email from tryhackeme for more details about my swag gift card but I received just only congratulation 💐 message that I won tryhackeme swag gift card of 75 💵 dollar worth..
Kindly guide me what to do next.....??
i dont see a edit button

Its been 5 days but I still didn't get any response from Tryhackme support even though I mail them on their support email everyday. My account is in someone else's hands and THM is not even replying to my emails regarding this issue. Is there any other way to contact them? This is really disappointing and frustrating. Can anyone help me out here please?
@west chasm @cold owl
Yesterday I was working on a lab with a friend. I was using the VPN option and using my own device and Linux set up for the lab, he was using the attack box.
In the lab “RootMe”, you find a directory to upload a file to. You’re supposed to upload a php file that includes a reverse shell. I uploaded the file (after not working many times I looked at a walkthrough and copied the steps exactly), set up a listener on the port I chose and executed the php file. The first couple of times I tried to make a connection, the listener wouldn’t pick it up, then the last two times I tried, the php file just opened a new webpage as if the file was a text file and still did not connect to the listener.
After this, my friend tried on the attack box and got the shell on the first try.
Is there a reason this would work on the attack box and not on my own machine? I confirmed VPN connection, made sure the reverse shell had the correct IP, etc. but it was never able to connect unless it was done in the attack box.
Hello guys, I'm started the basics not so long ago and I'm at the following:
Room: Networking Secure Protocols
Task 8: Closing Notes
When I click the "Start Machine" button, the machine starts but there is no Split-Screen view. And I don't see this blue "Show Split View" button at the top of the page.
Note that the Split-Screen view works in other rooms, it doesn't work only for this task.
Could somebody help me with that?
Subscription Type:
Premium Annually
End Date:
Jan 7th 2027 at 19:00 (GMT+1)
Next Payment Amount:
$0.00
Status:
Scheduled cancellation
My doubled annual sub payment got refunded
that is one of it is set to return
I am curious why it says scheduled cancellation?
Anyone having issues linux threat detection 3 i get upgrade required.
Do you have the page open perchance?
Yes page is still open
Do you have in the right down corner same thing as me?
No 🙁
Can you verify and send a screenshot?
Alr, so close the page you've opened with the previous green button and then the blue one should be available
I tried but I don't have the same buttons as you. I want to send you a screeshot, but it seems to be blocked. Trying to figure out why.
You need to verify
.
I had a similar problem and figure out it was because I had the paged zoomed too much. So I reset the zoom to 100%, reload the page (important step) and the button came back. 🙂
I tried but it is not working. I didn't have any issues with other rooms. :/
I just checked the room and remember someone else recently had the very same problem at the same room. And its the second time I tried and also get the same error. Yeah I think it is a bug in the room.
here it is, the bug report: https://discord.com/channels/521382216299839518/1461336994708979742
Alright, I hope it will be fixed. I don't like to leave the room at 90% 😅
yep, I know the feeling.
so, more than a day has passed, and the dashboard is still not working? 😭
Thanks for the help ✌️

Turn off pc immediately
I was able to login but none of the content is loaded. So best is just to wait for a while and then TRY AGAIN LATER
if they are able to hack a website like tryhackme then me turning off my pc wont make any difference xD
i was in the middle of a ctf goddammit TwT

@coral arrow yup it is working for me now


Working now
👍
down?
Hi, Im doing MFA room. So when i click on start machine, it tells me that the machine has started but i dont see that bar where it displays the machine information, nor does it show the timer and IP
Think it's down
Send the link to the room?
Actually, I'm not able to start any of the machines, not even attackbox, think it's a site issue? Because older messages suggests so
Oh, it's back, the site's working now
reload your room & browser link...
I guess reaching out to direct support is the next step.
anyone else experinceing lag? Cant sumbit answers
cant login
same. it have been more slow then usual
Just lost connection now
Was about to ask if anyone else has problem trying to log in or finish any room, but it seems I am not the only one.
Typical 😆
i cant even login in now
same here
I see you guys mention that this is happening the last few days, but from my side the problem appeared just this morning :/
like the whole week it has been slow:(
Well, I am logged in, but in every refresh, it changes its mind! 😅
Woa, for real? 🤔 Then, no complaints from me! I am one of the lucky ones! 😅
lol
The site is down?
Yup
is there any idea when it will be back up
Tryhackme down ??
Yup.
Ok got it
damn..
what is this happening. does anyone has any idea ?
Does TryHackMe even have mods in this server looking at it?
It behaves like it is ddos on thm site
could any staff respond please?
Same for me. I was connected and unable to move forward in my learning... Now I have to wait 3 hours...
None of the network rooms are working! I’ve wasted over a week in trying to make it work. But pings won’t go through.
wow
I just got the same message as you @shy charm but it shows 52 minute queue
The time seems to be reducing very fast...
Hopefully it will reduce quickly
Omg tf is going on?
I now have a login screen, wish me luck 😝
Tryhackme has been hacked 😆😆
they should say "Thank you for your waste of time" 💢
I am now back in the site
@wind wedge sorry for the ping, but we're having some trouble with the site rn.
any response from staff would be appreciated
They made an announcement
my bad for not looking at
I can confirm I am back in and all is working for me, hope you all are back on quickly.
Is there something wrong with SQL Fundamentals room?
Nothing is happening, I waited like for 10 mins, tried to reboot the machine - same behavior, Im not getting any response from the console after I enter a command
There is still problem with Windows VMs
you forgot ; at the end
what's going on with the site?
i cant start VM`S pressing the "start machine" button no split screen is opening and no other button to open split screen shows up
Does anyone has a solution for that?
Not all machines produce a split screen.
Which room?
This room should do it, i started one yesterday https://tryhackme.com/room/nmap
I don't think it does.
yesterday i started one and it worked
Look at task 2, it wants us to execute a command
Yes, on the IP you get.
Doesn't mean there is a split screen machine, you may get a box with an active machine information on it
Yesterday i did this exact Task on a split screened machine^^
I dont understand what you mean with the box and active machine information on it
How should i use a machine that i cant open?
Was the split screen machine the attackbox?
i dont think so.
What is the difference between the "start machine" and the "attack box" machine?
They're two different machines.
The attackbox is a standalone Ubuntu virtual machine.
The start machine button opens a VM you interact with from the attackbox, or your own vm.
Most time i didnt even start the attack box but the Start Machine VM which i used for all the tasks before.
So its meant that we use the attack box as actual work on box to execute commands directed to the start machine box?
It's optional
okay. I cant remember that THM ever explained that. Probaly they should mark if a "start machine" VM is not meant to be actively used via UI
Would you recommend to stick with the Attack Box mainly?
It's been explained in a few rooms.
If you don't mind not having persistent memory, sure.
Or if you can't run a VM.
hmm. Do you know which exact rooms? If not i will take alook on it myself
But somehow i need to start a machine, both will use memory since both be started in the Browser?
Linux fundamentals 1 and 2.
Not as much, as they're running on a cloud.
somebody else experiencing performance issues of the site since a few days?
For some reason when I’m connected to vm in the room windows logging for SOC, my vm randomly disconnects “instance termination”. Anyone else have this issue?
Hi yes, I sent a mail to the support but the ticket is still in queue

Hi everyone, currently i'm doing Day 15 - Web Attack Forensics - Drone Alone from AoC 2025 and it appears that the room is unaccessible.
And the credentials does not shown as well
Anyone facing same issues?
Intro to SSRF > Task 2 > SSRF Examples. When viewing the website and applying everything taught, including using the hint that says to add &x= at the end to ignore the rest of the URL, the flag is still not reachable with a 404 error as if the location of the flag is down.
I was trying to purchase a monthly TryHackMe subscription. I entered all my debit card details correctly and successfully completed the OTP verification, but the payment was still declined.
My card is active, not expired, and I am based in India. Please let me know if there are any issues with debit card payments from India or if there is an alternative way to complete the subscription.
Thank you for your support.
happened with me aswell, turns out that you have to activate international transactions on your card
hey i didnt get my 90 day badge, its worth mentioning that the streak was freezed on the 90th day, im now at 93 days and still didnt get the badge
Reach out to support.
Facing issues with the site ..ended up getting 500 errors ... Multiple times
+1 Slowness once you are in and will randomly 500
+1
is it normal to tab out of the screen and go back to it and get put in a cloudflare queue?
1 hour 30 minutes? wtf is this
whats going on?
My streak will be ending due to this wait time, my schedule only allows to take the courses at night, any exception?
I'm not sure but, don't worry if the issue continues, they will restore your streak.
its back up
Always down from France
I'll loose my streak... and I cannot finish my learning path....
Cloudeflare is burning XD
Once I've access, I cannot validate answer.... damn
I think they are now back
this is also because of cloudfare?
i try to refresh the page using the button but not coming back
Try to close site and open again
I've had this happen many times
It usually helps
You can also put together a puzzle :)
It doesn't help, but it's cool
yeah after a while it comes back
thank you

Hello, I have a team and when I try to connect to my learn path, for example "XDR: Defense Evasion" it is asking me to buy a new plan.
My subscription has not ended and should renewal tomorrow. Any guess on what might be wrong?
Hello. First time poster. I recently joined TryHackMe (premium subscription) but am familiar with the subject matter,. I am trying the Greenholt Phish (Premium) Room (PhishingEmails5 v1.1-badr // https://tryhackme.com/room/phishingemails5fgjlzxc), and when I launch the AttackBox, the wrong AttackBox keeps booting. This VM that does not match the room features a different desktop/UI and tools thatare not for email investigations; it's got Burp, Metasploit, and other red-team tools. I did get the right box to boot on the third try, but it had no browser connectivity for WhoIs, VirusTotal, etc. I told the Echo bot and it said to inform customer service. I tried again the next day and the wrong box is still loading.
So I frequently get the wrong VM for the Greenholt Phish Room, but when I do get the correct VM with the email sample, Thunderbird, etc., it has no web connectivity, so I cannot upload suspicious files to VirusTotal or similar, which seems to be the solution and what the Echo bot says I should do.
Does anybody have any experience with the wrong VM booting, one that does not match the room? Or a VM that does not connect to the public internet and tools that it seems like you are supposed to use in that scenario?
(I have cleared cache and cookies.)
Thanks for the help.

My region (US-East) under access is the closest to my geographical location
can you tell me what command you ran?
On the target machine, or my attack machine? The output above is from this script here: https://github.com/tryhackme/openvpn-troubleshooting/blob/2025-infra-upgrades/thm-troubleshoot
Network Rooms
This script does not support Network room VPNs (rooms with a network diagram at the top). Those use separate configs downloadable from the Access page.
How are you connecting to the vpn?
Aha. While trying to find the troubleshooting script, I did find my premium ovpn profile over on the access page - previously I had just downloaded the ovpn from Access Machines -> OpenVPN (Advanced). I connected using the premium ovpn profile and the script is happy.
Nice
There is only a single attackbox. The room specific vms need to be started from the rooms content pages itself. You would have probably seen the button "Start Machine" when viewing content for the room on the top right
Contact support or this might be from the AWS addon
Shutting down in the middle of the analysis https://tryhackme.com/room/staticanalysis1 had plenty of time to work for an hour+... any thoughts on why this happens?
Thank you for your reply. Yes, I have only been launching the VM with Start AttackBox from the room (https://tryhackme.com/room/phishingemails5fgjlzxc).
Gave +1 Rep to @sour zenith (current: #538 - 14)
Yeah, do you see the "Start Machine" button when you click the Task: "Just another day as a SOC Analyst"?
That is the virtual machine you need to run for the room. These machines are task specific
Yes. That is what I have been doing. I can show you the screenshots of their desktops if you like.
Yeah, that would help
I just booted... this is the wrong VM. See the icons/launchers on the desktop are for Burp Suite, Metasploit, Bloodhound.
Uhh
I dont see any pictures
So I am new to Discord. I can't just paste a screenshot in here? I have also tried dragging and dropping the file.
Oh yeah, here
Thank you!

I just booted... this is the wrong VM. See the icons/launchers on the desktop are for Burp Suite, Metasploit, Bloodhound.
I will ~reboot~ Terminate the VM and try to get a screenshot of the VM I should be seeing.
Scroll down
You see the first task?
Press the greyed out button, should be green for you
I have tried both but I will launch from that one
alright, start this machine and show me
Thank you. THis is what I should be seeing.
I do see the difference in the VM name in the lower part of the pane.
Gave +1 Rep to @sour zenith (current: #507 - 15)
But now I am in there I can perform most tasks, but I think I need to go to VirusTotal and upload a file... but I have no way to connect to the internet from the VM. It just times out, gives standard no-connectivity browser errors. ping isn't even failing.
You dont need virus total for that
Try looking up how to get actual file extension for a file
So it was my mistake by not launching the VM from the link closest to the task?
Should the VM have connectivity or not? Because in other rooms it had it, or at least seemed to?
well the first part, yes. You need to know what machine to run for a specific task. There could be machines in every task or one single machine. Regarding VM connectivity, if it doesnt have an internet connection then that probably means it doesnt require one.
OK, I assumed the link at the top of the room would be the same (this room also has a single task). That's worked for me so far.
I'll keep at it. Thank you for your help and responsiveness. Have a good day.
Gave +1 Rep to @sour zenith (current: #481 - 16)
I did complete the room and it did require taking the file hash and putting it into VirusTotal, so I still think that the VM should have been able to take me there. Thank you again for your help.

Hi, I had already done this room : https://tryhackme.com/room/breachingad ("Breaching Active Directory"), but I wanted to do it again as it is interesting. So I reset progress, left room and stared it all over, but the Attack Box does not connect to it's network, there is no "breachad network adapter." and I am unable to ping network 10.200.70.x. I also cleared browser's settings and tried again, but I am unable to get it up working. It there a way to re-do the "Breaching Active Directory" room? thanks.
Terminate the machine, follow the instructions and try again
It shouldnt matter if you are doing the room for the first time or the 5th time.
Thanks for your answer, I already did so, but I will try again.

is thm down again?

Hey folks I keep getting redirected to /500 on multiple occasions, is something going on my end? While I was writing this I got redirected again, it says Oops, this page failed to load
Hi , same on my side, got 500 errors quite often
Was it fixed for you?
I also want to know if this is going to be fixed and how it will work because if I get promoted in this week's league should I move up 2 leagues?
Have you checked that the IP you are copy pasting is correct? Is your attackbox able to send pings to the target machines?
It may also be just a THM bug, maybe you did not wait enough for the background processes for the AD machines to load
Is the machine from https://tryhackme.com/room/sqlmap working? I understand that "can take up to 3 minutes to boot", but after 10 minutes I still get "Welcome to nginx"
Just wrote an e-mail to the support. A bit demotivating to be dropped to the league below while I'm on the #1
Why aren’t the ip addresses work for the aoc? I wanted to do the room "25 Days of Cyber Security" Task 7 and when I copy the ip address and paste it into Firefox in the vm, they say that the site don’t work. Another day I wanted to do an another task but the ip addresses wasn’t working either
Either error 500, unknown error or random league demoting this week. This is really becoming annoying. 
i have been solving rooms for the whole week and in last 4 hours everything is gone because of random league error, i need help plz...
+1
went from #1 on Plat to being thrown back into Gold for no reason 4 hours before the advancement
I'm in similar spot. Got dropped to Platinum while being #1.
Also not fair for people in the league where I dropped to
Just fyi a lot of people are facing this issue at the moment
If that makes it any better 😄
Didn’t TryHackMe had a mobile app??
I’m trying to use TryHackMe, currently use a computer for it but I was wondering does it support mobile?

Hi, could a mod point me in the right direction? My support ticket about account suspension seems to have been lost. Who’s the best person to contact. I emailed you a month ago, but I still haven't received a response.

hello, can someone please help me to know how can i change my discord THM token?
I have paid for a monthly subscription yet my account is not updated with the subscription. Therefore I am unable to view the premium contents in my learning process. Please help me get access to the contents without delay.

You should contact support
If you scroll up, you will notice that people complain about it for some time already
Also make sure you don't actually navigate to /500 again 
What happened ya? I am pretty sure my answer is correct
It's not your answer, the portal is having issues again
🥀
No agaaaaain

Same issue

What happened to the webpage? I was about to learn for the day when i got this message
Too many people, need to queue

Oh wow, I was about to do my lesson now and I noticed the same, now I know it's everyone
We're not paying enough for our subscriptions that they can't afford servers? xD

I got the same page "You are now in line" after switching tabs while working on one room but it went back after few minutes. All good.

@west chasm concerning Red Team Capstone, the workstations WRK1 and WRK2 are inaccessible even after successfully connecting to the internal VPN
And yes, I've reset the network twice, same problem
Hey guys could you say me if you see anything new in "new rooms" . the last one is the old "n8n: CVE-2025-68613". i just want to know if everyone having the same problem . and if the case how to discover the last rooms . thx
@west chasm I'm having an issue with the Looney Tunables room. No matter how I use the exploit and get root, the flag file doesn't exist. I've done it as the nopriv user and the thm user. Any idea why I'm not able to see the flag file root.txt?

Anyone know why on the room subdomainenumeration I cannot seem to get a result with using ffuf when trying to get the first and second subdomain?
can you provide screenshots from what are you doing?
I'm not able to send screenshots here.
ffuf -w /usr/share/wordlists/SecLists/Discovery/DNS/namelist.txt -H “Host: FUZZ.acmeitsupport.thm” -u http://
with the machine IP after
with the -fs 472 since thats the highest size
And it returns nothing.
you did add the ip to /etc/hosts right?
yeah if you do subdomain fuzzing you have to add it to /etc/hosts
so do
sudo nano /etc/hosts
<ip address> acmeitsupport.thm
if thats the host name
Let me do that real quick
lmk if it worked 🙂
running the enumeration right now
Anyway, I set a temporary URL for the target. It's a pain to remember the IP address.
I think i'm still doing something wrong
Still no result.
:: Progress: [1907/1907] :: Job [1/1] :: 164 req/sec :: Duration: [0:00:11] :: Errors: 0 ::
and I added the machine ip > acmeitsupport.thm
maybe try a different wordlist that always a good idea if a scan does not find anything
Odd though, because nothing like that is told in the room
Just used subdomains-top1million-5000 still nothing
Please try subdomains-top1million-110000.txt
you do subdomain enumaration?
they tell you to use
dnsrecon -t brt -d acmeitsupport.thm
Yes
No
they tell me to use the ffuf command
I've been reading in the discord logs here and more people have been having hte issue
going to do the 110000 rn
so you do a different room then ?
I'm in that room, thought I said that
I see you selected that command but if you look at task 6 they inform me to use a different command?
ah my bad sorry it cames up later alr
Yeah I think they expect you to try different top1million lists because I saw someone use the 110k and get the answers at that specfic time, mine is still running its at 22k right now
try subdomains-top1million-110000.txt wordlist 🙂
i could find all 😄
i paused since it found all
we all make mistakes all good 🙂
Actually I have a question about that
Like If I use a wrong IP e.g. attackbox instead of the machine started and I do for example an nmap scan or whatever fancy tool there is, could there be any legal problems?
i am not an expert about that but an accident scan should not get you in trouble 🙂
thx
If I were a SoC L1 analyst, I would probably not even notice it, or even if I did, I would think it was a minor thing that I wouldn't even bother with.

I need help from staff member. My account auto renewed and i did not intent to continue the subscription.
Hi everyone,
When I try to load a page in Firefox on the TryHackMe VM, it takes a very long time to load. I didn’t have this problem before.
where do you need help?
Are you a subscriber?
Or trying to access a link on a "target" machine?
the text disappears
I can't figure out how to contact support... I need to change the email address on my account because I changed my primary email on my Google account and now Oauth is not working. It says I have to create a new account.
Do y'all have a support email address? I can't get past the bot on the support widget on the website.
Oh, yeah I guess that'd be good to try 😆. Thanks so much!

I am doing the https://tryhackme.com/room/networksecurityessentials

Hello i want to buy subscription of thm in India any one can guide me
Yes, it was just a couple of hours before the end of the week, but it would have been in the middle of the night where I live so I couldn't improve my score very much.
I had hardly done anything because I felt so unmotivated with the wrong tier. So, no first place, but I pushed myself into the promotion bracket and was promoted to the correct tier for this week.
If I knew I would be moved back to the correct tier at the end of last week I would have collected more points and maybe I could have swooped in to get my 1st place badge!
Oh well!
Good luck this week 💪
Thank you!
hello, i was subscribed to thm business plan, but i was not given any accesss to unsubscribe. how is it fair that now i get charged for renewal? i dont want this plan, i only subscribed to monthly. there was no lock in contract
as seen, there's no button that says unsubscribe
i don't know where to go, but this is not fair at all
Even I m facing troublesome on their subscription plan.... I paid for the monthly subscription yet my account was not updated with the same. Therefore i was not able to view my premium contents. I had mailed them, had conversations with the bot, even left a message on this Discord site support, its been 3-4 days, yet my query is not resolved.
I have paid subscription for next 7 days and decided to pause payment for 1 month but website blocked my access to content. Why? I should still be able to access it for few more days.
If you want to unsubscribe, you can go to manage accounts >> Subscriptions. Where you can see the the for cancle subscription.
check that photo ^^, you can see there is no cancellatiom button at all
yes but they take too long, and now they're going to claim its not refundable because by the time they respond it would take 1 week+ which is very unfair. $90USD is not cheap for me at all
What is this self employed in Subscription for ??
is it your username ??
when you subscribe to their business plan, they get you to name your business, but i wasnt subscribing under a business i had subscribed under myself
ookay, lets just hope for the best!!
how do we paste the flag we found in the blank provided?
I am currently working through the "Detecting Web DDoS" room and noticed a small typo in Task 5: "Leveraging SIEMs."
The text defines SIEM as "Securing Information and Event Management." However, the industry-standard term is "Security Information and Event Management."
I wanted to flag this so it can be corrected for future learners.
so any updates on how to fix my openvpn connection? it seems I won't be able to participate in the CTF this 24th. can't seem to work it out anyhow. the attackbox gets very slow and only 1 hr I can use without sub.
what is your exact problem?
previously I used to connect by just typing sudo openvpn <configfilename>.ovpn
now when I do it, it won't connect. I tried almost everything. downloaded the VM, downloaded new config files, reinstalled the entire OS, it wont just work

Hi everyone, I have a question about a question on the website.
"Do security analysts play a significant role in the _____ of an organization?"
What would the answer be? (Question in the "Careers in Cybersecurity" module)
my machine is stuck :<
Yoou need to renew your ovpn config file. Go to https://tryhackme.com/access and download a new one. THM changed the internal set-up awhile ago. Once you get the new ovpn file you should be good.
Same here

Within the GamingServer CTF, with all information given I've gotten the user flag, with some help of google/gpt asking questions on what specifically to look for which makes sense with what i've learned previously. But what I don't understand is how do I learn what the method is to obtain root access to this instance.
I've been looking up answers and I see methods but instead of just blindly copying those how do I actually "know" / "learn" to use method xyz?
My guess is experience and trial and error. 😉
I need logic or reasoning to comprehend these subjects not blindly doing stuff or copy pasting answers
CTF's are usually done in order of material, so there is material on THM that you've not done/fogotten,
You're not supposed to go in to a CTF "blind".
already installed that when I had the problem
