I’ve noticed my younger sibling is always glued to my computer when playing Roblox and it has become somewhat of an issue in my whole family. I decided to find a solution by blocking the RobloxPlayerBeta.exe file through my windows firewall and making a c++ script which enables and disables the outbound rule at certain times so that she can play for a limited number of hours per day.
The problem is that after Roblox does a client update, the directory in which the .exe file is in changes which reflects which version it’s at. Is there a way I can block the .exe file regardless of which folder it is in, perhaps a script that checks every directory and subdirectory to find which one it’s in?
I have already tried to make a .bat file to block every .exe file in the directory of my concern, but it seemed like it was a one time fix and the next update would render it useless. Besides, it crowded my outbound rules tab in the firewall with useless rules which made it harder to navigate.
I could just keep my code running how it is and every few weeks update the existing rule to match the directory that it is in at that point in time, but any solutions or alternatives would make my job mroe convenient.
