not sure which PDF you are referring to (thus which IP addresses you mean) but here is the official practice lab info : https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/services/education/cybersecurity-skills-practice-lab

hi @05454H

it looks like you're following the 'guided' lessons which usually has an onsite lab at your disposal

192.168.0.0/16 is a private IP range that's only accessible if the lab is at the same location as you are

you could look into at the online demo environment from the fuel user group: https://www.fuelusergroup.org/page/fuel-virtual-test-lab-8.0

Hi @05454H,

l think this is how it works. You have only 4 hours slot.

The best way is to have the VM running locally where you can build your own lab and play with it.

Hmmm.. Can be tricky if you don't have access to the PA VM image as well as trial licences.

I think option one:

Use the lab for 4 hours. Before the expiration of your reserved time, get a copy of the config from Palo. Reserve another 4 hours, upload the config and continue with the lab,

Option two (some costs involved):

spin some EC2 instances and VM on AWS
