Accelerator
Accelerator is a free, open-source game accelerator for Windows and Linux.
What Accelerator is
Accelerator is a free, open-source game accelerator for Windows and Linux. It routes traffic across the full device and supports TCP, QUIC, UDP, IPv4, IPv6, and ICMP. Setup involves filtering outbound packets: Windows instructions use Windows Firewall rules, including rules for ICMP destination unreachable packets, while Linux instructions use iptables and ip6tables for outbound TCP reset and ICMPv4/ICMPv6 packets. The README recommends enabling TCP BBR for better effect on IPv4 and IPv6. Building requires libpcap development packages, with installation commands for apt-get and yum based systems. The project identifies Go as its implementation language and declares Go 1.20; listed dependencies include quic-go, gopacket, and water. It is licensed under AGPL-3.0. The repository page lists no releases or packages, and its README does not name third-party integrations. The project is owned by the For-ACGN GitHub account, whose profile displays the name Bin-Magic.
