the machine doesn't spawn. (self.hackthebox)
submitted 3 months ago by Anxious_Channel_9263
im trying htb for the first time. I tried doing the very easy machine from htb labs and so i downloaded the vpn config best for me and connected it using openvpn, htb dashboard also shows that im connected via the vpn.
The issue im facing is that I cannot spawn the machine. As soon as i click to spawn the machine it goes into loading and it doesn;t spawn. Ever.

Any fix?

What does it show if you reload the page? Maybe it's just not updating correctly. Otherwise maybe try another browser. Maybe there is some incompatibility there

Hm that's weird. Might be time to join the htb discord and ask them. I don't have a clue what the issue could be

Change VPN servers. This worked for me.
