i don't know anymore. i'm getting really annoyed by background processes interfering with my counter-strike ping. like microsoft is checking my mail or uploading some telemetry bs or something. i can't wait to get back on linux.

You could check out Portmaster for blocking those. It does take a bit of work to get it working well with games though.

it's interesting that you say that. i recently installed Portmaster for another reason and have been turning it off when playing CS as it was blocking it. I will look into configuring it. Cheers.
