ChatGPT Pasted CS2 server picker for Linux

Fetches data from the Steam API and blocks IP addresses using iptables.

Usage

Blocking servers

Run ./blocker.sh and enter countries to block.

Run ./blocker.sh and provide the countries to block as args, like so:

./blocker.sh lhr ams par fra sto2 vie mad sto waw hel

Then say "yes" and enter your password :^)

DO NOT DELETE blocked-ips.txt

Unblocking servers

Run ./unblocker.sh.

This will read blocked-ips.txt and unblock those addresses.

Finding what you should block

If you don't know what you should block, just run CS2, open console, start the queue and wait for it to output something like:

Notes

For whatever reason, https://github.com/Jyben/csgo-mm-server-picker no longer works for me and I am not bothered to fix it. These scripts achieve the same result anyway.
