This error is not a problem with FreeRDP and rather a problem with your network.

There are many network errors that can cause this but the most common it seems, is multiple VPNs.

If you have this error, make sure you are not running multiple VPNs.

For example:

You have a VPN running on your windows machine, but you are working on hackthebox from a Kali Linux virtual machine with NAT set as the network type; that is then also running OpenVPN. This complicates the network setup and can cause issues.

Solution:

Disconnect your windows VPN and only use the OpenVPN connection on your NAT virtual machine.

I hope this helps someone :slight_smile:
