I have made it easier to setup the firewall and gotten all the servers now (US East, US West, US Central, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Brazil, Australia) I have also cataloged all the server IPs in game so that the firewall rules can be strict. This way you can apply them globally on your computer and NO LONGER need to point to the new SC2 executable file every patch! It also won't get in the way of other programs because it is a stricter filter. Steps to set up: 1. Run cmd as administrator 2. Enter the netsh command of the server you want to block Done!

To remove any rule run
Hi, I've created a quick C# desktop application to automate what you've written. Rule names are: "ScKorea", "ScUS Central", etc. In other words, format is: "Sc<text from combo box>". It's a really simple program that took about an hour to write.

There aren't any viruses or malicious code, I could release source code if there's enough interest but it's nothing special.
If you use it, please let me know if it works or if it doesn't so I can correct it if necessary.

Edit: Also, forgot to display a message after you click a button but you could assume it's worked, haha. It was just a quick attempt to automate the above post.

Thanks for all your hard work mate. Great to see big improvements!
If this catches on I will now have to wait 5 minutes for each game I play!

No one's going to download a random closed source exe

Maybe if you said "cool idea, could you please share source code anyway as I have security concerns" I would have understood you, but your post seems kind of arrogant when you say "random closed source exe". With such attitude, I think next time I'll think harder if I want to help community by writing an application. Having said so, there's no virus at all, it's just your attitude that bothers me.

Cool idea!
I'd love to use this but I have some security concerns.
I don't think anyone will, or should, download a random exe off an internet forum.

Ok, here is source code (zip archive): https://gofile.io/?c=a4u8Lo
Visual Studio 2019, I've just spent an hour writing this code so it's what it is. I know there's Github but it's not a serious program anyway.

For people who need this, we have a saying in Brasil:
"Criado em leite com pêra"
Means youre a whiner

so people from these places are not allowed to play? Or they can only play within their regions which are very small, otherwise they wouldnt have been merged with bigger servers.

Since they play from Aus/Brazil, they more often have to play with high ping than you. Of course you can block them but just put yourself in their shoes one time: you live in a low population region and can only play with very few players. Dont do to others what you dont want to happen to yourself.

Nice, now I might as well uninstall starcraft since I wont be able to get any games

Kind of. At the same time, if youre on Australia and have bad internet provider, the game will almost match you on Aus server since opponents probably have better internet, being from America and all.
So if all your opponents have 200-300ms latency ( and only once in a while, so they arent used to it), they usually tilt and play really bad or just do a bad all in to end fast.
Which means, Australians have advantage on the ladder because they play all their games at ping advantage over opponent who gets tilted resulting in inflated mmr and unfair rank possibly.
This might be stretching it a bit far, but there is some truth in this.

So if another player and I are blocking each other's servers, we shouldn't be able to match?

I have only had higher mmr (300+) while in america, compared to being in Australia.
