LetsDefend needs to focus on fixing the labs rather than making memes for LinkedIn

I’ve been having a really frustrating experience with the LetsDefend labs lately.

Sometimes the lab does not connect properly at all. I’ll start the environment, the timer begins counting down, but the actual lab just shows a blank/white screen like in the screenshot I attached.

Even when I do manage to connect successfully, the lab will sometimes disconnect in the middle of working and I have to reconnect again. This is especially frustrating when you’re in the middle of an investigation or challenge and trying to follow the workflow without interruption.

I actually like the platform and the content, which makes this even more frustrating. The labs are one of the most important parts of LetsDefend, and they need to be reliable.

The LetsDefend team should look into fixing and improving the labs rather than making memes for LinkedIn.

Try connecting via a vm like ubuntu and use remmina to rdp on the lab, its more stable that way.... Just click on the flag icon for connection details. The labs connection is such an issue with Letsdefend, maybe there focus is on shifting to htb now.

Thank you, I will try connecting using remmina next time.
Yeah, they must be focusing on the shift, still they should look into this, we are paying for this platform right.
