I was doing a few Burp Suite labs on Hack The Box earlier today. I noticed that one particular test with Intruder kept getting stuck after the second attempt. Only after restarting the lab VM on a new IP did my test start again, only to get blocked again.
It was only later, when I looked at my phone, that I put one and one together.
The lab VMs are not behind Hack the Box's VPN, they're public on the Internet. Thus my tests weren't going through the lab VPN, but they were going straight through my router.
The router with an IDS+IPS.
Unifi was blocking my "hacking". :D
