Usage tips

Warning Be sure to use a VPN with the --use-my-ip option

Warning Don't mix VPN with proxy as it can lead to poor performance

Warning To make it run in the background, use the screen or tmux utilities

Warning To run some advanced methods, you need to run the tool as an administrator

System optimizations

Warning Advanced users only

Linux TCP stack
tuned -p network-throughput -d (taken from previous link)

Installation

x100

Note X100+Distress is best used on VPS servers as it greatly reduces the chance of a ban.

Distress is integrated into the x100 tool, you can read the full documentation on setting up and run here.
