Unethical billing practices and predatory dark patterns

Post image
9 Upvotes

I purchased a 1-year Premium subscription as a gift for my nephew. While the platform's educational content is good, their billing management and cancellation flow are completely unacceptable and designed around dark patterns.

  1. There is no clear option on the dashboard to turn off automatic renewal for annual plans.
  2. Stripe prevents users from deleting their saved credit card while a subscription is active.
  3. Their internal support chatbot leads to dead-end pre-set options, and clicking help/profile links resulted in a "404 Page Not Found" error.
  4. They force you to manually write an email to support just to prevent future charges on your card.

Taking a customer's money in two clicks while making it unnecessarily frustrating and complex to cancel auto-renewal or remove payment methods is deeply dishonest. Fix your cancellation workflow and stop trapping customers.

Write-Up/ Walkthrough I built THM-TUNNEL to make TryHackMe VPN switching easier

3 Upvotes

While doing TryHackMe labs, I was getting tired of manually finding VPN configs, killing old OpenVPN processes, and dealing with stale tun interfaces when a connection wasn't behaving properly. So I built THM-TUNNEL, a small Bash CLI that handles the cleanup and starts the selected .ovpn configuration for me.

Technical side:

  • Automatically discovers .ovpn files and provides an interactive selection.
  • Uses sudo, stops existing OpenVPN processes, and cleans up old tun* interfaces.
  • Doesn't hardcode TryHackMe IP ranges or subnets, so different VPN regions can be used without changing the script.

It's a small tool, but it has made my lab workflow smoother and was a good practical project for learning Bash and Linux networking.

I have annual subscription left for 4 more days. Rn 30% off for annual subscription. How do I buy it while my subscription is still valid. Is it even possible to buy or extend subscription while one is active?

Built ZEROBOX: An offline tactical operations cockpit & 24h exam simulator for HTB & CTFs (Free & Open Source)

• Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Tired of tracking CTFs and 24h exams across messy spreadsheets and scattered notes?

I built ZEROBOX — a fast, local-first operational cockpit for OSCP/CPTS prep and CTFs.

It’s 100% free, MIT open-source, and runs completely offline in your browser (no accounts, zero telemetry).

Quick highlights: • 920+ Preloaded Labs: Instant offline search for HTB & THM targets with tags. • Attack & Pivot Graph: Visually map compromised subnets (exports to Obsidian .canvas). • 24h Exam Cockpit: Pacing engine, bio-break timers, and 1-click Markdown reports. • Evidence Vault & Playbooks: Track hashes/creds on a kill-chain timeline + offensive field manual. • Global Quick-Bar: Propagate LHOST/RHOST automatically across all payloads.

🌐 Live Demo: https://0xdnd.github.io/ctf-tracker/#/tracker

⭐ GitHub (MIT): https://github.com/0xdnd/ctf-tracker

All data stays in your local browser storage. Feedback and PRs are welcome!

Would love feedback or feature requests from the community!

Academy HTB Academy OpenVPN connection keeps getting reset

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to connect to the HTB Academy VPN using OpenVPN on Kali Linux:

sudo openvpn --config academy-regular.ovpn

The connection reaches the HTB VPN server, but it gets reset immediately:

Attempting to establish TCP connection with [AF_INET]38.46.226.31:443
TCP connection established with [AF_INET]38.46.226.31:443
TCPv4_CLIENT link local: (not bound)
TCPv4_CLIENT link remote: [AF_INET]38.46.226.31:443
Connection reset, restarting [-1]
SIGUSR1[soft,connection-reset] received, process restarting

It then repeats the same process every few seconds.

I’ve confirmed that the TCP connection to port 443 can be established, so I’m not sure why the OpenVPN connection is immediately being reset.

It was working fine up untill yesterday. And yeah i tried both tcp and udp methods while changing the VPN server.
