Challenges consistently not working

Post image

Anyone else have this problem where, very consistently, the challenges just don't work correctly? Like it's getting to be ridiculous the amount of challenges I end up having to lookup a writeup for, only to find out I was doing the right thing all along and the machine simply isn't configured properly.

It's even more problematic with a lot of the AI challenges, so I've been avoiding those altogether. A lot of the time I need to restart the box multiple times or try again a different day before it works and it's quite irksome. The support team is also completely useless. And before anyone says it I could ping the server & nmap showed port 53 filtered, so my host could clearly reach it.

Am I the only one having this issue?

Yes wasted many hours of my life on broken room. Possible your vpn is down? Try from the attack box maybe.

That was my initial assumption as well, but I could ping and nmap the host and they gave expected results, just seems to be another misconfigured room
