Openvpn connection problem on windows!

Stuck on HackTheBox! New season machine requires Windows for an exe. Wine failed, so back to Windows. Downloaded OpenVPN (first time) for the VPN connection (competitive.ovpn). Getting “Peer certificate verification failure” error despite disabling antivirus and running as admin. Help!

Check the entry in your config file if it is generate correctly, if it is empty generate a new one switch server/protocol.

Nevertheless maybe you are able to run powershell on your system. If you are using kali you can install and start powershell via cli:

apt update && apt -y install powershell
...
pwsh

I’ve doublecheck the generated payload by ysoserial.exe is working.

The pwnbox got a powershell as well. For macOS it should be possible to install via brew just google.
