wtf is thm-vpn-from-ru?

This project is a set of helper scripts for connecting to TryHackMe's OpenVPN service from inside Russia, where the standard connection often fails or times out. The README explains that the working approach is to first connect to a separate VPN app called Happ Plus, and then connect the TryHackMe OpenVPN client through that tunnel using TCP port 443 instead of the usual UDP port. The author is explicit that this is meant only for reaching a user's own TryHackMe account and labs, not for targeting any other systems, and that the underlying VPN service can occasionally stop working since it is outside the author's control. The repository provides ready-made scripts for both macOS and Windows. On macOS, a connect script starts Happ Plus, checks that it is running, starts OpenVPN with the correct configuration file, and waits for confirmation that the tunnel is up. A matching disconnect script exists because simply closing the VPN app can leave the network in a broken state on macOS, so it carefully stops OpenVPN first, resets the relevant network settings, and confirms that normal internet access is restored before finishing. Windows gets the same two scripts using batch files, following the same order of operations but without the extra network reset steps that macOS needs. Setup involves downloading the scripts, installing OpenVPN, installing and logging into Happ Plus, and downloading a TCP configuration file from the TryHackMe website's access page. The README also lists common problems, such as the VPN connecting but the target machine not responding, and points to a few TCP 443 free alternatives such as PortSwigger's Web Security Academy or OverTheWire Bandit for practicing without needing a VPN tunnel at all. The project is released under the MIT license and provided as is.
