Just don't use it on any computer you play online games on. "Anti cheat" software tends to freak out on things like this.

  Only for the rootkit style anti-cheat software. Personal opinion: Don't put anything that matters, or connections to anything that matters, on computers with rootkit anti-cheat software installed. Even if the company itself is perfectly respectful, there's too many instances of supply chain attacks and attackers loitering on internal networks to trust such a vulnerability. At all.

    I've been out of the PC gaming scene for a fair while. Which anti-cheat software would you describe as the "rootkit anti-cheat" software? (and is that all the stuff that doesn't work on linux?)

      CoD has Ricochet: https://www.callofduty.com/warzone/ricochet https://www.callofduty.com/warzone/ricochet ESEA for CS:GO: https://play.esea.net/client https://play.esea.net/client I've heard similar ones for Valorant, etc.

      To add to the sibling comment: - Denuvo Anti-cheat (used by Doom Eternal's multiplayer mode) - Vanguard for Valorant I refer to them as rootkits since they install Ring-0 kernel modules that are updated outside of your control.
