VRChat-Analytics-Blocker

Data collection is something users should have the ability to deny. This tool will help with some aspects of that for VRChat.

How to block analytics

Method 1 (Run the executable):

  • Run the latest release of VRChat-Analytics-Blocker.exe as admin.
    • The executable does Method 2 automatically, adding to Windows's 'hosts' file.

Method 2 (Manually edit Windows's 'hosts' file):

  • Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
  • Edit the 'hosts' file with a text editor as admin.
    • If it doesn't already exist, create a file called 'hosts' (with no file extension).
  • Copy and paste everything here on a new line in the file.
  • Save it!

Method 3 (Adding the blocklist to existing adblocking tools):

  • Add the following link to your adblocking tool:
