| ## notes | ||
| - use this app to control which ow2 servers you play on | ||
| - **my simple use case:** when i want to play on na west coast, i block na east coast. i don't block any other servers | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| <!-- | ||
| - this app lets you choose which OW2 servers to play on | ||
| - this app is a tiny `.exe` file and doesn't install anything extra | ||
| - this app updates automatically when you open it | ||

| 2. select the servers you wish to block. that's it, read the warnings section. | ||
| - you do not need to keep the app open once servers are blocked. | ||
| 3. if you block certain servers, **they will remain blocked forever** until you unblock them | ||

| <li>deselect the servers you wish to block</li> | ||
| <li>deselected servers are <strong>permanently blocked</strong> until you allow them again</li> | ||
| <li> | ||
| pinning this app to your taskbar for quick access is a good idea | ||

| ## disconnect warnings | ||
| 1. **do not queue with other people** unless they have the same servers blocked as you do | ||
| 2. keep in mind this app does also affect **unranked** and **custom games** | ||
| ## is it safe? | ||
| - this program is safe. **read the warnings** and nothing bad will happen. | ||
| - all the source code is above and the `.exe` is automatically generated [here](https://github.com/stowmyy/dropship-test/actions). | ||
| - you can compile it yourself too, since it's open source. | ||
| ## if you are having trouble connecting | ||
| - _quickly_ open this app and unblock servers or you may time out and disconnect | ||
| - this _should_ never happen if you follow the warnings but please keep it in mind or you may get disconnected and recieve a temporary competitive ban | ||
| - blocking OW2 servers can unintentionally affect other games. a fix is being worked on and will be available in a future update | ||

| - please also take a look at this program. it is very similar but is more battle tested and has a community around it. | ||
| - they did all the hard work for finding server ips. i just wanted to make my own version that was more lightweight and portable. | ||
