Cozyhosting Not Resolving

Cozy hosting isnt resolving for me, I put the ip address in my host file but I keep getting 301 redirects

Keep In Mind I am new, and just finished starting point. I put the ip address correctly, and everything with the domain “cozyhosting.htb”

Can you post the contents of your hosts file here? Thanks.

What’s your /etc/host file?

“$ cat /etc/host”

Also does it need to be port 443 HTTPS or 80 HTTP when trying to access the URL?

I have also re installed the vpn connections multiple times and tried once every single day

same thing happened with me with cozyhosting and some other machines, I tried with pawnbox too still didn’t work… only buying the vip fixed it.

Could you specify the machines? It didn’t work for codify, cozyhosting, and analytics for me

If it helps the only one that connects is the machine “Bizness”

Yes, I had problem with all these… devvortex too

I was able to scan the machines and all but the website was not loading, I was getting nginx error.

I also had problems with devvortex, is this with all the “easy” machines? Same exact problems as you.

I guess, but it fixed when I bought vip, maybe because of vip vpn…

I know this is pretty late in the game, but is anyone else experiencing an issue where port 80 is closed? My issue isn’t with the web page, I know last time I did another similar box I just had to update my /etc/hosts file, but literally my nmap scan doesn’t even show that port 80 is open, it specifically says it’s closed.

I thought maybe something went wrong with the box so I’ve tried respawning it but it still doesn’t show anything on port 80. To try and resolve it I even took a peek at the walkthrough to make sure I wasn’t going crazy, and not only does port 80 show up in the walkthrough with the initial nmap scan, but I even manually tried adding 10.10.11.230 cozyhosting.htb then navigating to http://cozyhosting.htb in the browser and it still doesn’t work. The server on the box definitely does not seem to be running.

Should I try switching to another VIP VPN location? Or maybe TCP instead of UDP? I’m kind of at a loss with this and I’ve solved harder boxes before, so I’m inclined to think maybe something is wrong with this box, but I can’t bring myself to move on lol I need to figure out wth the problem is :sweat_smile:

I believe CozyHosting has its own issues. For example, I was playing it the other day and as you said port 80 wasn’t there. I continued tomorrow and suddenly it was working as charm. So I suggest if you are certain that something is wrong try reverting the machine, or as you said switching the VPN might also work
