## Overview

youtubezapret is a Windows traffic-circumvention bundle for restoring access to YouTube and other services without a VPN. Users either launch a chosen strategy manually or use service.bat to install and manage one; the strategy starts winws.exe, which uses WinDivert to intercept and filter traffic. The service menu also manages filters, lists, updates, hosts-file guidance, diagnostics, and strategy tests. README documents these capabilities, but no batch or PowerShell source excerpts were provided, so uncertain internal wiring is omitted.

Main entry points: [`service.bat`](https://github.com/scarletadvisoryield/youtubezapret/blob/main/service.bat) (Service menu), [`utils/test zapret.ps1`](https://github.com/scarletadvisoryield/youtubezapret/blob/main/utils/test%20zapret.ps1) (Strategy tests), [`bin/winws.exe`](https://github.com/scarletadvisoryield/youtubezapret/blob/main/bin/winws.exe) (winws engine), [`general.bat`](https://github.com/scarletadvisoryield/youtubezapret/blob/main/general.bat) (Manual strategies)
