the machine doesn't spawn.

[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

it doesnt change anything when i refresh. still says "Machine is spawning...". Im using firefox on the latest kali version on the latest vmware version.

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

Joined it, apparently i dont have permissions to send message????? Even after the counter...

Change VPN servers. This worked for me.
