I can't ping any of the machines

had the same problem with not pinging - worked thru the editing of the ovpn file from the access tab from UDP to TCP and worked perfectly… Login :: Hack The Box :: Penetration Testing Labs

Did anybody work this out? I’m getting this issue.
I’m connected to both the starting point via vpn and machine via vpn, I’ve started the boxes I’m trying to scan and still get unreachable?
I’ve had a lot of issues like this with hack the box, what can I do?

If you’re using openvpn on the command line:

First, close any active vpn connection that says “Initialization Sequence Completed” with <CTRL + C>.

Then:

sudo killall openvpn

Finally, reconnect the vpn:

sudo openvpn my_hackthebox_openvpn_file.ovpn

replacing my_hackthebox_openvpn_file.ovpn with the name of your downloaded vpn file.

Sometimes in virtualbox you need to change your network interface,
put nat, click ok and put back to bridge
