🌟 Welcome to the NetShield-Blocker Wiki! 🚧🔒

🎯 What's This All About?

This wiki is your virtual cheat sheet for all things NetShield-Blocker! Even though this project is currently under construction (aka, beta vibes), this space is here to help you get a glimpse of the vision, learn about its progress, and (eventually) flex your blocking skills. 🙌


📚 Table of Contents:

  1. Project Status 🚧 – What’s done and what’s cooking.
  2. How It’s Supposed to Work 🛠️ – A peek at the planned features.
  3. For Developers 👨‍💻 – How you can help shape it.
  4. FAQs (Kinda) 🤷‍♂️ – Answers for your early-stage curiosity.
  5. Roadmap 🛤️ – Where we’re heading.

1️⃣ Project Status 🚧

Let’s keep it 💯—this project is in super beta stage right now. It’s not runnable, so don’t expect a magic executable or polished app just yet. The grind is real, but progress is happening, and the goal is to deliver a distraction-free blocker that'll vibe with your productivity dreams.


2️⃣ How It’s Supposed to Work 🛠️

The goal for NetShield-Blocker is simple:

  • Block websites via the Hosts file.
  • Add or remove custom Windows Firewall rules.
  • Keep logs because... receipts are 🔑.
  • Offer a clean and simple UI so anyone can block distractions without headaches.

3️⃣ For Developers 👨‍💻

👀 Interested in contributing? We’d love your help to make this project a reality!

  • How to help: Start by checking out the source code on GitHub. (It’s messy, but we’re working on it).
  • Dev tools: C# & .NET Framework with a dash of WinForms.
  • Warnings: You’ll need admin-level permissions for most of the blocking actions – system-level things take privileges.

4️⃣ FAQs (Kinda) 🤷‍♂️

Q: Can I use this right now?

A: Nope, fam. It’s still in development. Stay tuned!

Q: Why doesn’t the code run?

A: Because it’s a work in progress. Things are broken, incomplete, and waiting to be built properly. Patience is a virtue.

Q: Can I fork this and play around?

A: Totally! Just remember, it’s unfinished, so no guarantees things will work as expected.


5️⃣ Roadmap 🛤️

Here's what’s planned for future releases:

  • ✅ Basic UI framework – under testing.
  • 🔄 Hosts file blocking – in progress.
  • 🔄 Firewall rules integration – in progress.
  • 🔜 Error handling, validation, and logging – next phase.
  • 🔜 Packaged executable for download.

P.S. This wiki will evolve as the project grows. For now, it’s a chill spot to track the journey, share ideas, and (if you’re into it) join the grind. 🚀

Let’s build something cool together. 💪✨
