openvpn

[Michael]

Thanks!
I'm trying to ssh to tryhackme's server (the lag with the attack box is
just too annoying). I figured out I had to install the server. but now when
I run it it just logs me into my own system. Not tryhackme's.
Here is what I did if you want to look:
michael at desktop1:~$ ifconfig
