About The Project

This is a collection of scripts designed to block Apex Legends servers (or Multiplay servers in general). It's aimed at people that frequently encounter high ping servers in Apex Legends. Those scripts filter the list of servers by your specified ping threshold, and block high ping servers using Windows Firewall.

The list of server is planned to be updates regularly, and at the moment, not all Apex Servers are in that list.

⚠️Warning: Apex Legends doesn't check availability of the servers when queuing for a game, so if your party members don't have the same servers blocked - your party members will get into the match, but you will get disconnected. You don't get a cooldown if that happens.

Usage

⚠️ All script should be run in a cmd with administrator privileges

1. filter.py - filters Apex Legends servers by ping. py -3 filter.py <latency threshold>
   For example, py -3 filter.py 200 will write all servers with ping more than 200ms into "high_latency.txt"
   Please note, that running this script could take a few minutes to run, be patient and try not to stress the network too much while it's running.

2. block.py - blocks outgoing connection to IPs in a specified file.
   ⚠️Warning: before running block.py, you need to close Apex Legends, for some reason adding firewall rules doesn't work when Apex Legends is running, possibly because of the anticheat.
   py -3 block.py <IPs file>
   For example, py -3 block.py high_latency.txt will block all servers in file "high_latency.txt"

3. unblock.py - unblocks all IPs that were blocked by "block.py". Takes no arguments.
   py -3 unblock.py
