Hello, I just started on htb. Does buying VIP get me another machine that is separate from what is public? I am 99% sure I know what to do, but I get maybe 90 seconds from reset to 503 again. My reverse shell was closing immediately on connecting, but I changed my file upload and I believe it should work now.
VIP will indeed get you access to one of about 40 much, much quieter servers. You still see the occasional other soul in there, but I often have a box to myself, especially for the less new boxes. Well worth it imho.
