It is designed to block hosts related to VRChat analytics. This utility is intended to be used in conjunction with a VPN to prevent VRChat from collecting analytics data while playing the game.\n\n## Usage\n\n### Prerequisites\n\n- [Go](https://golang.org/doc/install) installed on your system.\n\n### Installation\n\nTo use VRConnectivity Shield, follow these simple steps:\n\n1. **Download:** Obtain the executable file for your platform from the [Releases](https://github.com/Onyx-Innovators/VRConnectivity-Shield/releases) page.\n\n2. **Run:** Execute the VRConnectivity-Shield.exe executable to start the DNS blocking utility.\n\n## Development\n\nTo build the project from source, follow these steps:\n\n1. **Clone:** Clone the repository to your local machine.\n    ```bash\n    git clone https://github.com/Onyx-Innovators/VRConnectivity-Shield.git\n    ```\n2. **Navigate:** Navigate to the project directory.\n    ```bash\n    cd VRConnectivity-Shield/src\n    ```\n\n3. **Build:** Build the project using the Go compiler.\n    ```bash\n    go build -o VRConnectivity-Shield.exe\n    ```\n4. **Run:** Execute the VRConnectivity-Shield.exe executable to start the DNS blocking utility.\n\n## Configuration\n\nThe list of blocked hosts is sourced from [VRChat-Analytics-Blocker](https://github.com/DubyaDude/VRChat-Analytics-Blocker). The blocked hosts are defined in the `main.go` map in the utils package. You can modify this map to include or exclude specific hosts as needed.\n\n```go\nvar hostsToAdd = []string{\n \"api.amplitude.com\",\n \"api2.amplitude.com\",\n // Add specific hosts here\n}\n```\n\n## How it works\n\nThe program will add the specified hosts to the hosts file located at `C:\\Windows\\System32\\drivers\\etc\\hosts`. The hosts file is a text file that maps hostnames to IP addresses. When a DNS request is made for a hostname that is defined in the hosts file, the DNS resolver will use the IP address specified in the hosts file instead of querying a DNS server.\n\n## License\n\nThis project is licensed under the [MIT License](LICENSE).\n\n---\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbadend777%2Fvrconnectivity-shield","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fbadend777%2Fvrconnectivity-shield","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbadend777%2Fvrconnectivity-shield/lists"}
