I don't know the context of this question, but maybe this helps: https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html
The main difference I see between the two is that not every version is being released for general use. But a "release" version is.
Some versions are release candidates, still being actively developed and tested. Once these versions have passes the tests and show no further issues, they get released.
Which is fine, but gnome has toggle buttons in the settings drop down for different network connections, including buttons for individual VPN profiles. It's pretty convenient. There's also a gnome extension for NordVPN integration.
Sure, the commands aren't complicated, but it's nice to have the option for quick access settings.
I would highly recommend you to use a VM especially if you are new to all of it. After all you will use a VPN and expose yourself to other people in the lab, so it's always best to use a seperate system.
Assuming you also use your windows installation for personal every day use, it wouldn't be the best idea to install all these tools as they might interfere with AV and what not. And some are just a pain to setup on windows or might not work at all..
If you are lazy and have problems with the installation you can just get a ready VM and import it in vmware/virtualbox

Or if you have a HackTheBox VIP subscription, they offer a virtual machine (pwnbox), which you can easily access through your browser!
You don't understood me.
Before HTB I used my own VPN (ProtonVPN)
A few months ago I started to play with HTB, and to do that I must connect to HTB using their provider VPN (Which is OpenVPN).
In generally speak, there is no problem until certain kind of machines that need to use or validate certain network parameters (I guess, don't deep in details) before connecting or pwned... This not happen in every single machine, you could do a lot of machine with this double vpn connection and nothing will fail. Is just in certain cases, depends on the vulnerability you are trying to exploit, In my case was xfreerdp remote conection.
Any hints? I see it executing and then deleting the file both not running my command to copy the contents of a file or executing a reverse shell. I've been using this.

When i'm right they even recommend two VPNs in the start module. I personally use ProtonVPN.
Like Raven stated you get the VPN file from HTB. But i have no clue if you connect with your private IP via VPN into their network and so expose your private IP or if they hide it - as i have a VPN always on, i didnt checked that. Make sure that your private IP is hidden when you connect with your VM. Besteht would be to read tge FAQs if its not stated there reach out to the Staff to make sure.
If you generally search for a VPN look for "no Log VPN" and read at least a few reports about them. Pick which you think will fit best for you. If someone recommends a VPN (like i did with ProtonVPN) research on your own and dont just trust them. Using a VPN hides your private IP but also means to trust the VPN Provider with all your connections.
It sounds like you are running Kali in a VM with NordVPN running on the host machine? Do you have your Kali VM network adapter set as NAT?
Can you turn off NordVPN on the host machine and try browsing to the box again? My hunch is that your VM network adapter is attached using the NAT networking mode and that NordVPN is dropping traffic from the HackTheBox network to your host machine.
