jb.ps1 and jb.bat are scripts for Windows users.

1. Ensure Windows Firewall is enabled.
2. Download jb.ps1 and jb.bat into the same directory.
3. Open jb.ps1 with Notepad and edit the $idepath variable to include the paths to your JetBrains IDE executables, ending with *64.exe. Delete the example provided.
4. Save the changes.
5. Run jb.bat as an administrator.
6. Run this script periodically to ensure your IDEs remain activated.
7. (Optional) Automate the process by:
   • Create a shortcut of jb.bat
   • Move the shortcut into the startup folder
   • Right-click on the shortcut -> Properties -> Shortcut -> Check "Run as administrator"
   • Apply changes

jb.sh is the script for Linux users.

1. Install iptables:

   • For Debian-based systems: sudo apt install iptables
   • For Arch-based systems: sudo pacman -S iptables
   • For other distributions, install iptables accordingly.

2. Make jb.sh executable:

   chmod +x jb.sh

3. Run jb.sh with root privileges:

   sudo ./jb.sh

4. (Optional) Automate the process by adding jb.sh to your system startup.

Note: Using this script on Linux may block connections to account.jetbrains.com for all applications, not just JetBrains IDEs. Consider it a temporary solution.

jb.sh is the script for macOS users.

1. Download jb.sh.
2. Make it executable:

   chmod +x jb.sh
