# Steam Blocker

A simple Windows app for blocking outgoing network traffic from Steam. 


It works by modifying Windows firewall rules. 


Done as a GUI and C++ learning project.



# Features

- Blocking outgoing network traffic

- Support for both x86 and x64

- Log console

- Dark theme

# Usage

- Run the app as an administrator.

- Check the log console for errors.

- Click "Toggle" to enable or disable the blocker.

# Compilation

Just make sure you have `SBFwEditor.dll` in the `bin` folder. 


Anything else is straightforward.

# Errors

**SBFwEditor.dll broken or missing:** 


Program can't find `SBFwEditor.dll` in the `bin` folder, or can't call the `Enable` or `IsEnabled` functions.

**Can't find Steam path:** 


Program can't find where steam has been installed. 


If you don't know what to do, just add a value to the registry. 


**Missing admin privileges:** 


You need to start this app "as an administrator".

**Critical error:** 


Something awful happened, and there is no easy fix.

**Unknown defined error:** 


I fucked up something with the `SBFwEditor.dll`

**Unknown unexpected error:** 


Shouldn't happen if you won't mess with the `SBFwEditor.dll`

# Fix missing steam path

- Go to the registry key shown in the log console

- Add REG_SZ value "InstallPath"

- Provide a path to a directory where steam.exe is located

# Fix missing SBFwEditor.dll

- Go [here](https://github.com/DmitrijVC/SBFwEditor)

- Download version corresponding to the Steam Blocker one 
 *(0.x SBFwEditor.dll = v0.y.z SteamBlocker.exe)*

- Put the `SBFwEditor.dll` to the `bin` folder which should be next to the SteamBlocker.exe
