Figures from each repo's GitHub metadata at analysis time.
Antivirus software can delete the extracted files, so it may need to be excluded or disabled first.
This project is a preconfigured bundle of Windows batch scripts, built on top of the zapret-win-bundle project, aimed at helping people whose internet provider or country blocks access to Discord or YouTube. Running the included scripts changes how the network handles certain traffic, letting Discord chat and voice calls, or Discord plus YouTube together, get through where they were previously blocked. The instructions are written in Russian and walk through a short setup. First, turn off any VPN, Warp, or similar tool. Second, make sure the computer is using a public DNS provider such as 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8. Third, open the "pre-configs" folder and run one of the included fix scripts, DiscordFix.bat for Discord alone, or UltimateFix.bat (and an alternate version) for both Discord and YouTube together. The README also covers common problems. If a fix script closes immediately after opening, the likely cause is antivirus software deleting files during extraction, since some antivirus tools flag the bundle as suspicious even though it contains no actual virus. The fix is to add the folder to the antivirus exclusion list or temporarily disable the antivirus. For people who want the fix to start automatically with Windows instead of running it manually every time, the bundle includes a small utility that installs it as a background service, and the same tool can remove it later. There is also a built in updater that checks for and downloads new versions of the bundle automatically. The README explains that more sites, such as Nvidia, Telegram, Steam, or Twitch, can be added by editing a domain list file, list-ultimate.txt, and that a dedicated tool was built to make that easier and less error prone. This is a Windows only tool with no cross platform support mentioned, and it credits the original zapret-win-bundle project at the end of the README.
