TryHackMe VPN through NetworkManager

Most people use CLI to connect to TryHackMe, but I believe it should be run through NetworkManager if you have it:

Connecting via GUI/NetworkManager will give you this end result:

So, if you think this could be interesting, please download your configuration file from TryHackMe and import it with NetworkManager:

Left click on NetworkManager icon and select VPN Connections and Add a VPN connection:

Choose the last option “import….”

and select the TryHackMe .ovpn file.

Some ciphers fail to be imported so these ciphers manually needs to be put in the nmconnection file:

file: /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/KrigDK.nmconnection

Insert the following into the file [vpn] section:

[vpn]
cipher=AES-256-CBC
data-ciphers=AES-256-CBC:AES-128-GCM:CHACHA20-POLY1305:AES-256-GCM

so it looks like this:

restart NetworkManager

and you can now start your vpn in your Kali VM

voila:
