#

hey!! I'm back

#

I followed the guide

#

but I couldn't connect to vpn

#

😦

cursive drift
#

but I couldn't connect to vpn
@tulip jacinth I think you need a space between openvpn and the path to your connection file -- sudo openvpn /path/to/file

tulip jacinth
#

@cursive drift you are a life saver mannnn

#

damnnnn

#

im stupid lmao xD i've been tryna to figure this out for almost an hour

#

lmao thank youu

cursive drift
#

No worries it's an easy thing to do!

feral dock
#

@safe briar Hey, the admins are looking into the issue, meanwhile please use another browser, it's a display issue on Chrome.

safe briar
#

@feral dock I'm not using Chrome.

feral dock
#

That's interesting, what browser are you using?

safe briar
#

@feral dock Firefox Dev

feral dock
#

It works for me on Firefox dev πŸ€”

safe briar
#

I have it fully up-to-date too.

mint willow
#

i have a problem

barren birch
#

You... gonna tell us what it is?..

grave leaf
mint willow
#

yes

#

:(

barren birch
#

Ah, I see

grave leaf
#

@mint willow are you using the VPN file in your Kali machine only? Or are you using it in both Kali and Windows?

mint willow
#

only kali

grave leaf
#

Are you closing your VPN window or leaving it open?

mint willow
#

openvpn ?

#

i open it

#

I am not using vpn on my window.

grave leaf
#

Are you closing the window once you connect?

mint willow
#

No, of course, I don't.

#

because to solve the machines

#

do you want connect to anydesk ?

#

I am trying

#

i constantly try

#

but no session was created.

#

...

#

Is anyone there ?

#

:/

toxic python
#

@mint willow if someone can help you they will. No need to repeatedly ask.

mint willow
#

okay sorry

#

i think ice server down

grave leaf
#

The machine works fine. We aren't currently sure what is going on specifically. Can you try another room and see if you have issues?

#

I've tested it a few times since you brought the issue up, and it works.

mint willow
#

do you want connect to anydesk ?

#

do you have a chance to check?

grave leaf
#

No.

#

The machine works fine for me.

mint willow
#

:(

#

sad

barren birch
#

@mint willow you don't look to be fully connected

#

Can you check your system time?

mint willow
#

12:40 am

#

i from turkey

barren birch
#

As in, can you check the time on your VM and make sure that it's right?

#

Look at syncing it, if possible

mint willow
#

how can i did it

mint willow
#

ugh

safe briar
#

@feral dock Yeah man, it's literally only the RP rooms. I just joined and did the tmux one and now I can't leave that one either, haha.

#

@feral dock If it was some kind of browser issue wouldn't you expect it to happen with each room? Maybe it has something to do with the DOM and the fact there is a : so it is making it think you are somewhere else.

#

@feral dock I'm going to check it out with Chrome and see what happens.

#

@feral dock Oh, one thing I forgot to say which might be relevant is that I am using Firefox Dev on OSX.

toxic python
#

can you @ him one more time, I don't think he got the message πŸ‘€

safe briar
#

Ok @feral dock

#

@toxic python Good lookin out. πŸ™‚

toxic python
#

just here to help

mint willow
#

I synchronized the time but still not working

bronze vale
#

@mint willow Try setting the payload to "windows/meterpreter/reverse_https" possibly?

#

Sorry for intruding.. this one worked for me whereas the other one didn't

mint willow
#

none of them work

bronze vale
#

That's not the one I typed..

mint willow
#

https

#

hmm wait i will try

bronze vale
mint willow
#

I'm about to go crazy

#

I can't believe I'm dealing with it for 13 hours

bronze vale
#

Just move onto another room

mint willow
#

did I make the synchronization wrong?

drowsy spruce
#

I couldnt even connect and my one hour is wasted

sturdy umbra
#

@drowsy spruce You need to subscribe to use that f eature.

#

Says so in the top right corner.

barren birch
#

@deep trellis this isn't meant to let non-subscribers deploy in the first place, right?

deep trellis
#

@deep trellis this isn't meant to let non-subscribers deploy in the first place, right?
@barren birch New users get 1 free hour deploy to "trial" the Kali machine.:) Thanks for letting me know though aha

sturdy umbra
#

Oh.

barren birch
#

Ooh, fair enough 😁

#

Something might have gone wrong there then, connectivity wise ^^

deep trellis
#

I think its deployed with much less resources, so it takes longer to boot.

#

hmm

#

Will take a look

atomic spindle
#

how do i find the ip and id of a website

cloud dirge
#

@atomic spindle the ip should be the IP of the machine. By ID do you mean hidden pages or if port 80 is opened on the machine?

twin timber
#

am i doing anything wrong ?

sturdy umbra
#

@twin timber Usually rockyou.txt isn't stored in that path.

#

Is this the correct path for sure?

twin timber
#

yeah but i extracted to /tmp

sturdy umbra
#

Ok.

#

Remove the -t 4 and add it to the end.

#

Also, allow up to ten seconds for Hydra to start.

twin timber
#

yeah working when i put rockyou file in another directory

sturdy umbra
#

I assume your issue is resolved?

twin timber
#

yeah

#

solved

sturdy umbra
#

Also, next time, if it's room related, ask in #room-help :)

twin timber
#

ok sure thanks

tribal nimbus
#

@hereIsn't there any way to upload 32bit linux in tryhackme upload?

leaden token
#

no

#

only 64

tribal nimbus
#

Also is there any way to combine multiple vms under one room ?

leaden token
#

place them in different tasks

#

but i don't think there's a way to launch them at the same time

safe briar
#

@feral dock yeah bro, not being able to leave those rooms had to do with the :. They removed the RP: part of the room titles and now I can leave them. Do I get a bug bounty? lol

sharp bear
#

To claim a bug bounty it has to be more of a bug than just a site error it has to allow you to do something that you’re not supposed to however I don’t think there’s any kind of scope or guidelines set out soooo

safe briar
#

@sharp bear God, you are dense. It was a joke.

#

@sharp bear Will you please not reply to me anymore?

sharp bear
#

I wasn’t being dense just want to make sure you actually knew that you wouldn’t receive a bug bounty for that

Can't connect to my in browser machine. problem has persisted for 2 days. please help.

@deep trellis should be able to help with that. Do you have the IP address of the machine?

I can get it

I'm sure he'll need it!

Can't NMAP on Basic Pentesting room, any idea?

south steppe
#

Might seem like silly question but if i was to create a VM specifically for THM would i need to download a new VPN everytime or just run the same one each time?

toxic burrow
#

Might seem like silly question but if i was to create a VM specifically for THM would i need to download a new VPN everytime or just run the same one each time?
@south steppe good question, I used always the same for different rooms with any problems but somehow my nmap is not working.

south steppe
#

Yeah i use the browser one at work but would love just to have a main VM built specifically i can keep up to date and files saved etc on.

#

Maybe @deep trellis and @vapid dawn could answer?

vivid canyon
#

@south steppe you can use the same vpn configuration continously for different rooms / on a persistent vm
@toxic burrow what's the problem more specifically?

let me use my kali machine and let you know guys.

Hello, I have a question on the openvpn.
I have downloaded it yet i am not understanding the basic of it bc im dumb ;-;, and when i goto login for import profile i put my profile link and information to logion to my account through open vpn and i put the port as 22 and checked the import autologin and connect after import. Can someone help me on how to make a profile on open VPN or how to login?

golden crag
#

are u on linux?

wicked ibex
#

no i am on windows

golden crag
#

are u running the openvpn gui as administrator?

wicked ibex
#

Yes

zealous yoke

Complete this room @wicked ibex it’ll teach you how to use openvpn for THM

#

!vpn

sharp bisonBOT
wicked ibex
zealous yoke
#

Think you have the wrong app (:

wicked ibex
#

no

#

its the openvpn i right clicked it and im running it as an admin

zealous veldt
#

do you have the openvpn config file?

wicked ibex
#

omg no

#

there we go

#

thank u @zealous veldt @zealous yoke

zealous veldt
#

oh lol

zealous yoke
#

Ah nice one @zealous veldt πŸ‘

zealous veldt
#

||eyyy||

#

@wicked ibex Glad it worked

wicked ibex
#

Yup

#

I am now connected

#

But it says uh

zealous veldt
#

ya?

wicked ibex
#

Question

#

like with the vpn

#

lets say ur playing a game and some dude says hes gonna pull ur ip

#

when u connect to the vpn does it change ur ip ingame?

zealous veldt
#

ingame, like koth

#

yes

wicked ibex
#

ah

zealous veldt
#

but out in the world no

wicked ibex
#

bc in gta people kick me from the server but i rejoin and disconnect everyone

#

lvl 12 noobs lvl 200

zealous veldt
#

so if you curl ifconfig.me, itll show ur actual ip

wicked ibex
#

oh

zealous veldt
#

wait, i guess you got the meaning wrong....

wicked ibex
#

Im a dumb

zealous veldt
#

tryhackme's vpn is just to connect to their servers,

wicked ibex
#

Ah

zealous veldt
#

@wicked ibex im still learning too

wicked ibex
#

im only use to coding like

#

snake games

#

and discord bots

#

so hacking is like brandnew

zealous veldt
#

basically, it connects to their servers so that you can access their machines

wicked ibex
#

oh

#

thats sick

zealous veldt
#

yeah

wicked ibex
#

And for the

zealous veldt
#

so, if you want vpn for that purpose , i guess you should do a little more net-surfing

wicked ibex
#

how doi see the flag?

zealous veldt
#

go to access on the left hand side

wicked ibex
#

i wanted to try it

golden crag
#

so hacking is like brandnew
@wicked ibex may i advice, its possible to do this on windows, but youre gonna be missing out. Id suggest getting a kali linux virtual machine or other distro if you prefer that

wicked ibex
#

@golden crag I have tried to download kali linux yet evertime i do it dosent run correctly

zealous veldt
#

try onto a usb?

golden crag
#

what kind of error are you getting?

zealous veldt
#

live booting?

upbeat palm
#

whenever i am doing ssh to the machine, the vpn connection gets reset. I know the final solution but stuck because of this

wicked ibex
#

i tried to download it like 5 months ago

#

I havent tried it since i deleted it bc i couldnt get it to work

zealous veldt
#

@upbeat palm can i see the log?

wicked ibex
#

Yea live booting

#

i didnt download the booting somethign when i did

golden crag
#

I havent tried it since i deleted it bc i couldnt get it to work
@wicked ibex there are plenty of great guides online on installing kali linux as a virtual machine, on for example virtualbox

wicked ibex
#

I have virtual box

upbeat palm
zealous veldt
#

recently i tried it on virtualbox and im getting black screen constantly, so i just gave up XD

wicked ibex
#

@wicked ibex there are plenty of great guides online on installing kali linux as a virtual machine, on for example virtualbox
@golden crag I can try to download it but everytime i download the newest one its always diffrent from the actual person teach how to download it

zealous veldt
#

@upbeat palm yes its all fine, you are connected to THM's network

golden crag
#

yes but those differences shouldnt be that big i think?

wicked ibex
#

they were

#

Or for the one\s i got

zealous veldt
#

do you have your iso with you? or have you deleted it?

golden crag
#

if you want i can always run you though it

wicked ibex
#

Deleted the whole program

#

can you?

#

Bc i seem to always download the wrong one

upbeat palm
#

@upbeat palm yes its all fine, you are connected to THM's network
@zealous veldt I am connected to VPN but whenever i connect to the CTF machine, the vpn connection gets reset
@upbeat palm do you have multiple instances of openvpn running?
@zealous veldt no

wicked ibex
#

I wanted to get into hacking bc someone hacked my account like a year ago

#

And i spent quite some money on the acc

#

like $300 or something on just items

#

But not really to get it back i quit the game i feel as it'd be intresting

#

to learn idk how to explain

golden crag
#

ehrm

#

well it could be interesting to learn so you can protect yourself better

wicked ibex
#

yea

golden crag
#

but dont use it for black hat purposes

wicked ibex
#

i wont

#

I wanna learn bc it seems to be im usally the one to get hacked

#

bc someone hacked my gmail and spotify last time

#

and kept changing the username

zealous veldt
#

@upbeat palm do you have multiple instances of openvpn running?

golden crag
#

well, id suggets getting better passwords, and making sure you dont have malware on your computer

zealous veldt
#

@golden crag yeah

golden crag
#

cause getting hacked that much is not normal

wicked ibex
#

I have malawarebytes

golden crag
#

like how i say, there seems something big wrong thenb

wicked ibex
#

and ccleaner

#

@golden crag do u want to run me though on downloading jali?

golden crag
#

sure. start with downloading the latest iso from the offical kali site

#

and make sure virtualbox is up to date

wicked ibex
#

wait let me finish this question first

#

still figuring this one out

#

i dont see a flag ;-;

zealous veldt
#

there is no need to find a flag

#

just hit that completed button

wicked ibex
#

it needs an awnser

zealous veldt
#

if you have done whatever it says

#

there is no answer to type..

wicked ibex
zealous veldt

barren birch
#

Give 'em a shot πŸ™‚

#

It's better you try it yourself

wicked ibex
#

Got it

#

And if i get stuck come back here

barren birch

The biggest skill in hacking is research and learning new things for yourself

zealous veldt
#

try harder XD

gaunt vessel

Hey all... total noob to THM and decided to start from the ground up. I'm trying to connect to my machine using putty and the connection keeps timing out. Checked out the putty website and they say its an issue with the server. Any suggestions from folk here?

white mirage
#

@worn hearth iw had the same last few days. Just wait some minutes and it will be up

toxic python
#

@fierce sonnet what machine are you trying to use putty to connect to? If you’re deploying a vulnerable machine from a room you probably have to hack your way in

#

You’re supposed to use your personal attack machine to explore the machine

#

Check out the OpenVpn room first and that’ll teach you how to connect!

fierce sonnet
#

Well its just a machine for learning linux in the beginner path... but i'll go and take a look on site thank you @toxic python πŸ™‚

toxic python
#

I believe you’re correct that you have to ssh into that machine. Make sure you’re connected to the VPN on whichever machine you’re sshing from. If you’re using putty on the host OS vpn has to be on host OS. If you’re using putty on a VM vpn has to be on on the VM @fierce sonnet

fierce sonnet

Fantastic thank you so much

abstract lark
#

hey all, I am pretty new to THM. I just wanted to the the TMUX in the Learning Path. I am subscribed and deployed a machine, but I can nowhere find the login credentials for that linux server I deployed, am I missing something? In the other Linux Labs, the credentials were always provided

deep trellis
#

Where have you deployed a machine from?

abstract lark
#

from inside this tmux environment

#

I clicked on task one, expanded it and clicked on deploy there

deep trellis
#

Ah so I think its expected you do the tmux exercises on your own machine.

zealous yoke
#

Ah, the attached VM to that seems irrelevant to the room? It's DVWA. You need to use tmux on your own machine (:

abstract lark
#

Ah okay I see. Thank you both of you! πŸ™‚

deep trellis
#

Its used to scan a machine in task #11

zealous yoke
#

Ah yes - my bad!

deep trellis
#

@rigid oxide do you think in your tmux room, you can remove the VM and replace task #11 with perhaps scanning another host?

zealous yoke

hm im having some issues visiting a webpage on day 7 advent of cyber

onyx kestrel
#

Hi everyone, i'm having trouble connecting to the THM servers i think. When i try to ssh into shiba1 from PuTTY and CMD it says connection timed out and wont let me in. I suspected the OpenVPN wasnt working and it isn't, after trying to get a connection i still can't get it to work. I have access to the Kali machine but everytime i try to boot it up it seems to not be able to connect at all. Is there an issue on THM's end atm? My internet connection is as fine as it always seems to be rn. I have been able to connect in the past so i really don't know what has changed. Is there a work around for this?

vocal fractal
#

Forgive me if this is a simple mistake as I am new to this, but I have run the openvpn on my VM and got the "Initialization Sequence Complete" but it still says that I am not connected? What step do I take from here?

zealous yoke
#

I would trust the message of "Initialization sequence complete" more then the access page @vocal fractal

#

@zealous yoke I have the same issue, but where can I find my virtual ip address?

ip a show tun0

#

Hi, i'm relativly new around here. when i lauch a kali machine it is expected that I access tryhackme over that machine?

#

or the kali machine is a substitute for deploying machines inside rooms?

leaden token
#

kali machine is used for completing the rooms

#

so are still required to deploy machines inside rooms

cloud bay
#

ripe lintel
#

@leaden token im on mac and i get -bash: ip: command not found

leaden token
#

are you connected to VPN?

#

(also it's not recommended to use mac for hacking/solving rooms)

im getting this when i run the command Tue Jun 30 15:01:05 2020 Initialization Sequence Completed

#

Yea I know but its all I have

#

no space for vm

leaden token
#

should be fine then πŸ€”

#

try running ip a

#

and see if you have tun0

ripe lintel
#

ip a gives me the same command not found, and if i run ifconfig i see a utun0

leaden token
#

then it should be fine, i guess

Hello, when I run nmap -p- on a host over vpn it is taking hours to complete. Is it expected?

ok, most of the time is just sitting idle for the nmap report to come..

Hello Guys, I have problem with RDP access to Windows PrivEsc box which is created by Tib3rius. I have used rdesktop, remmina and xfreerdp, everywhere is same issue. It hangs for while and then connections is dropped. I have tried to switch to different VPN server and problem still remains the same.

I'm bringing my netcat shell into the foreground using the command, "stty raw -echo;fg" and my tmux session gets hung every single time, tried running it as root and as my user but nothing seems to be fixing it . Any ideas?

Hey I'm having a problem. I did try the "Welcome" room in the TryHackMe website and it tells me that I can deploy a machine whenever I need.
However, when I try another level I need a Linux environement to work with and since I am actually installing Linux on my PC (I don't have it yet), I need to borrow a machine but I don't know how to do it!
If anyone could help that'd be great!

flint hawk
#

The machines you can deploy in rooms are for use for the rooms. They are not the same as needing a Linux environment to run commands.

#

Example, the N-Map room will have you doing stuff to a room deployed machine, but you will either need a VM, hard installation, or the subscriber Kali box to run the N-Map commands.

is there a way to check if the machines are having problems? or do i just assume its slow?

Correct. In the future if you decide to subscribe to THM, one of the benefits is a THM-hosted Kali box as well. @naive dust

oh my, reinstall msf might be a hassel but if needed

its ok, i'm really apreciate your help

bronze vale

If you’ve googled the error and that hasn’t worked it’s probably the only option (to reinstall metasploit)

hard niche
#

tbh i don't think its the framework. There might be something else

bronze vale
#

Have you tried any of these payloads:

#

β€œIf you are working on a Windows machine and are using Metasploit, it is currently defaulting to reverse_https payloads, which will likely not work. Please set your payload manually for the time being to one of the following:

windows/x64/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
windows/shell/reverse_tcp

If one of these do not work, we will be glad to help assist further.”

hard niche
#

i'm using the windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp

bronze vale
#

It’s definitely an issue with your machine/settings as it works for me, I’ve not come across the error yet

hard niche
#

idk if the target is vulnerable to other 2

#

there might be because of my network config

#

because i live in an apartment. There is a firewall/router block between my home router and the world

#

i don't have acess to that as it belong to the building manager and that might blocking the reverse shell perhaps

#

It’s definitely an issue with your machine/settings as it works for me, I’ve not come across the error yet
@bronze vale holy cow i did it, turnout i had to set the rport to 8000

bronze vale
#

Omgg πŸ˜‚

#

That’s my fault for not noticing

hard niche
#

but why 8000? i used 4444 before as thats what my machine is listening on

#

i though listening on my machine and the target need to be the same

bronze vale
#

Oh

#

It’s because you’re running the exploit on port 8000 since that has ice cast

#

And you’re listening on port 4444

#

So the exploit will return back to the port you’re listening on

hard niche
#

ahhhh, what if i change the listening port on my machine to another number like 3000

#

will it still work?

bronze vale
#

I believe so

hard niche
#

there are 2 set of ip and ports. one is on icecast and the other one on multi/handler payload, both carry my IP and port, what are the different?

bronze vale
#

As a guess the payload is what will connect back to your machine, but you may have to ask someone else in general because I’m not that experienced #general

hard niche
#

thankyou very much

for bearing with me

can someone pls help.............

toxic python
#

@brisk steeple you didn't say what youre issue is. Be more specific next time

#

also if youre doing task 4, #14, why are you searching for extensions with txt. The question says to find hidden files with extension xxa

#

and move this to #room-help cuz I don't believe this is a bug, i believe it's user error

brisk steeple
#

i said that i tried a command multiple times with no result
restarted my kali machine and the machine for the task
i looked at writeups and all said the answer was secret.txt

#

and move this to #room-help cuz I don't believe this is a bug, i believe it's user error
@toxic python you were the one who told me to put it here

exotic vortex
#

Hi

toxic python
#

yea i know, but i didnt see what your command was before, i see it now and can see your error

exotic vortex
#

@eager fulcrum can i msg you regarding a flag?

#

seems to be a bug

#

which vpn server is working right now ? i've tried AUS, EU servers can't connect to vm .

eager fulcrum
#

EU-Regular-1 is 100% working

#

Haven't tried the others.

#

What VM? What are you trying to do to test your connection to it?

solar shadow
#

i am just trying the learn linux vm. I've tried EU-regular -1, regenerated as well. I've checked my routing table the routes are there too . I don't why this always happens everytime I disconnect reconnecting is a pain I have to try different servers or restart my pc . Maybe I am missing something

eager fulcrum
#

What VM? What are you trying to do to test your connection to it?
You've answered the first part. What's the second answer? @solar shadow

solar shadow
#

@eager fulcrum My host machien is windows . I ve tried ssh from putty and mobaxterm

eager fulcrum
#

Have you successfully completed the welcome room and the VPN check at the end?

solar shadow
#

@eager fulcrum I have yes

eager fulcrum
#

What happens when you try to connect? Screenshot?

solar shadow
#

tried from different servers EU,AUS,VIP servers as well . I am connected to EU-Regular -1 right now

eager fulcrum
#

That VM isn't up.

solar shadow
#

@eager fulcrum But when i click deploy it shows an IP. I just tried from browser KALI VM. IT is connecting . So the isseus only seems from openvpn

eager fulcrum
#

Yep. So you have two options

#

I'm not at a PC RN so I can't do too much troubleshooting. But you can either try to fix your VPN now or SSH into the tryhackme kali and then into Learn Linux

#

root:Tryh4ckm3

#

(or someone else might help)

solar shadow
#

@eager fulcrum Thanks just need to troubleshoot the openvpn issue though .

eager fulcrum
#

If you can grab the output from Openvpn then people might be able to help troubleshoot

#

The usual setup that people go for is their own kali VM and the VPN running on that. That's pretty much the ideal.

Is the download for the VPN down or something? I can't download the config file - getting a 404

eager fulcrum

That was meant to have been fixed a while back

#

It's 6:30am for the admins atm

I'm sure they'll be aware once at least one of them wakes up

Ok, thanks. There's no hurry. I'll try again in the morning.

Hi everyone, I'm new here on try hack me, I hope I'm in the right place, I have some problem with accessing the Internal Virtual IP Address, when I copy it in the browser it doesn't connect to my Machine Ip, even if the TryHackMe web site tells me I'm connected to the servers (with the "green check"). Is there I way I can solve this?

leaden token
#

type ip a in the terminal and see if yout tun0 is identical to Internal Virtual IP Address on the website

#

if they are identical, that means you are connected

wise spade
#

after "tun0" there is a "inet my ip" and it's the same as the Internal Virtual IP Address on the website

leaden token
#

then you might have multi vpn running

wise spade
#

Ok! thanks

#

I followed the steps, but I don't understand why if I write "ps aux | grep openvpn" after killing all the connections and restarting the openvpn (Step 5) there still are 3 lines instead of 1

#

is it enough if I write the path as ~/myFolder/configurationfile.ovpn?
or do I need to write the entire path?

#

I rekilled everything and used the full path to restart the openvpn connection, still no website and with the "ps aux | grep openvpn" it shows me 3 lines that contains:
... sudo openvpn ...
... openvpn ...
... grep openvpn ...

Hey there. I am trying to get an OpenVPN config file to connect to the network from my Kali VM. But the contents of the file is just HTML with an error message.
@alpine ledge Well thats a new one

#

What OpenVPN server are you?

alpine ledge
#

I tried for EU VIP 2

#

Let me try for EU VIP 1

deep trellis
#

Did you try regenerating your config on EU VIP 2?

alpine ledge
#

Yeah it works fine for EU VIP 1.

#

@deep trellis Yes twice

#

Seems to be happening only for that server

#

Seems to be happening only for that server
@alpine ledge Fixed, another weird bug I will have to look out for. (Regenerate your config file to get it working)

alpine ledge
#

Wait. Is this the reason => "Please wait 10 seconds for it to re-generate" ?

#

I tried to download immediately. Maybe that's the issue.

deep trellis
#

Nope, it was an error with the OpenVPN server.

#

Let me know if the fix worked (I verified but just incase)

Hey, is this normal to see in the openvpn logs? I haven't seen it before, and I don't think it was caused by me. Looking up the IP it looks like it's something to do with AWS maybe?
