Disallow Robots - Solution

  1. Connect to the VPN and visit the website.
  2. Ctrl + U to view source code, which will direct you to check out robots.txt.

Here are the contents of robots.txt:

User-agent: *
# Congratulations, you found the first clue! The path you're not supposed to visit is the one you must visit.
Disallow: /f1ag_h3r3_n0w_th3_r0b0ts_path
  1. Visit that path and the flag will be shown in plaintext.
