I've really enjoyed this little program since i started playing GTA with a few buddies and it makes it a lot easier to get some play time in without being crashed by the people who just want to see the world burn. My only suggestion is if there was a way to "label" the IPs so when someones changes then you can just see which one it was and remove/update to the new one without having to hunt or play "guess which ip used to be theirs"

I think Codeswine has stopped development of this utility, but as of the Casino update it works perfectly
@Jaystar, i understand some of your friends have dynamic IP that changes every week or so, unfortunately, you cannot know which IP belongs to which, unless you do some guesswork yourself, the utility isnt that polished to do that, you need Guardian by DigitalArc at least to help you

@newuser42 I ment more like you can just have a column off to the side a bit you can put custom labels on not like actually having it label them automatically of who is who but like you can make a "note" on the IP line when they give it to you, so you can keep track off them without having to say keep it down in a notepad somewhere. It's more of just a though but you never know.

Yea... I can't get it to work anymore either. It used to, but not anymore apparently. I did have to reinstall windows about 6 or so months ago which is what I mean by it worked before, but I tried downloading it again and it doesnt seem to for me at least. I port forward 6672 and run as admin and I even made a static IP like I had before just no luck it seems. Even tried turning off and on my UPNP like was suggested above. And by doesnt work, I mean I used to be able to use it to get a solo server, I turn it on now before I join or after I join and nothing apparently happens. Maybe the numbers were changed or something? Possible to get an update?

Thanks again.

Hey @CodeSwine I wonder if you will do the same kind of app for RDR online ?

@CodeSwine Would also love something like this for RDR2 online.
Would make running long distance trades and the like more viable.

It's perfect, awesome. Thanks you so much.

i am having a bit of a issue in whitelisting. you see i whitelisted my both friends ip..but after that as soon as i activate the rules they are removed from the session

My whitelist keep droping when I active the program.

Bug report: the program seems to create the firewall rules successfully but is not deleting them properly and causing user to be unable to connect with any players and any players (even whitelisted ones) cannot join or stay connected

not sure how you would fix this, as the fix would be to ensure it deletes the firewalls rules when changing it.

you seem to be aware of this, but need to find a fix. I ran your cmd commands and it deleted more than 8 firewall rules, with the ip list having been empty might I add.

I love this program, as it has helped a lot, but this bug happens on the rare occasion and is annoying to deal with. fix it and I'd say this program is near-perfect.

bro does it work with cracked gta v because i want to play with my friends but we can't because all of us have the cracked version (1.41 version, but i can upgrade it if needed)

you cant go online on a cracked version of gta v, unless you guys download a multiplayer mod for story mode or FiveM

This mod is suspect af.

Looking in the source code it basically hacks into you're entire local network and links info to an unknown unaccessible place which basically screams network infiltration.

This looks like a data mining operation. It might be safe but any programmer will look at the source code and see red flags. Nobody should have control over my user settings except me.

@KingHenryX The source code you are viewing isn't a mining bot. It's requiring access to your user account so that it has administrative access to insert the rules and delete the rules in the advanced firewall settings. It's very common to create apps that require access to your system settings via your admin account. Otherwise, you're left with an app that doesn't work. The same goes for some legit apps for android/ios devices. They must have root access in order to modify certain settings that the system otherwise will not let you modify. As for sending your information to an unknown source, i'm unsure what you mean. Can you tell me which file and what line of code you are skeptical about? I might be able to ease your nerves.

this mod is completely safe nothing malicious about it, this program uses admin access on your computer in order to set firewall rules, without admin access the whole point of whitelisting the IP address becomes pointless, and that remote server that your talking about which is ipv4.icanhazip.com and ipv6.icanhazip.com which is in the IPtool.cs file which is located in the helpers folder of the source code on github, is only used for grabbing the host's ipv4/ipv6 ip address, those sites are strictly read only, they only show the host's ip address and return it on the page so the program can show on the main window of the program so u can share it with other ppl so they can whitelist you as well.

Do we know how to get firewall rules to keep friends in your limited public lobby again yet? I've read how this used to function in the past, got friend's IP, put in exclusions, but if you enable your rules manually, or with the app with the exclusions it's solo again. Seems to work for internally networked friends, ie. husband and wife who put in a 192.168.x.x subnet exception, but no one else that I know of.

first of all wanted to say great program! but I've been having a little bit of an issue trying to add a friend of mine to the white list it seems that Cox cable has no longer is for regular types of IP's and they're using more coded ones that look similar to this 2601:5C2:8400 now I've tried to add it manually in the settings notepad and that did not work. so is there any way I can add these more convoluted IP's the white list?
