This may be slightly off-topic, but since this issue is very specific to HTB I figured this would be the best place to ask.
Basically I have recently been trying to use WSL for challenges on HTB, but when connecting to the VPN I realised a dilemma:
- When I connect to the vpn from the OpenVPN client in Windows, I can ping the machines just fine, but when starting a listener inside WSL it seems to not be reachable from the VPN’s Network.
- I then tried to connect to the VPN using the OpenVPN client within WSL, which fixes the issue, but (of course) prevents me from accessing a box’s http server from outside WSL.
Is there any easy solution to this? Maybe a firewall setting I don’t know about?
I thought connecting two VPN’s at the same time would not work at all, to my surprise however it did partially seem to achieve what I was looking for, but it introduced the (much anticipated) issue of time outs and high latency, as described in the official troubleshooting guide.
