VPN notes
There are two main types of remote access VPNs: client-based VPN and SSL VPN. SSL VPN uses the web browser as the VPN client.
Usage of a VPN service does not guarantee anonymity or privacy but is useful for bypassing certain network/firewall restrictions or when connected to a possible hostile network.
When connected to any penetration testing/hacking-focused lab, we should always consider the network to be "hostile." We should only connect from a virtual machine, disallow password authentication if SSH is enabled on our attacking VM, lockdown any web servers, and not leave sensitive information on our attack VM.
DO NOT use the same VM that we use to perform client assessments to play CTF in any platform .
