GTAO PS4 Lag Switch for Grand Theft Auto: Online by Tins2831

Earlier this year developer tins2831 released a GTAO PS4 Lag Switch Python script for Grand Theft Auto: Online on PlayStation 4 via Github that blocks all outbound (by default) traffic whose destination port is either 6672 or 61456 on Linux systems while noting that it is untested on other platforms.

For those new in the PlayStation 4 Scene this comes following the Guide to Increase PS4 Download Speed, GTA V Online PS4 Tunables Decrypted, GTA Online PS4 Bunker Automation Utility, GTA: The Trilogy - Definitive T2 Hot Mess Edition, GTA SA Handling Editor Tool, GTA V PS4 Script Finder v1.38 Tool and Lamance 0.9 GTA V 1.38 PS4 Mod Menu for 3.50-9.00 Firmware.

Here's more details from the README.md: GTAO-PS4-Lag

Lag switch for Grand Theft Auto: Online on PS4. It blocks all outbound (by default) traffic whose destination port is either 6672 or 61456. Untested on other platforms.

Requirements

• A Linux (preferably Debian based) system. WSL might work, but I don't have a windows system to test that on.
• tc (Traffic Control):
  • Check if it's installed by running the following command: sudo tc -V.
  • If not installed, run sudo apt install iproute2.
• Python 3.9

Setup

To begin, you should create a hotspot on your linux system. linux-router allows you to easily create one.

Press q at the prompt or Ctrl + C to exit. To stop the lag switch, press any key. To restart the lag switch, press any key after it's been stopped and the prompt is displayed (v>> ).

$ git clone https://github.com/tins2831/gtao-ps4-lag.git
$ cd gtao-ps4-lag
$ # get the list of network interfaces to compare later
$ ls /sys/class/net
$ sudo lnxrouter --ap SSID -p PASSWORD &
$ # there should now be a new entry
$ ls /sys/class/net
$ sudo ./gtao-ps4-lag INTERFACE
v>> Press any key to begin or Ctrl + C to exit.

Tip: you can get yourself into a solo public lobby by letting the lag switch run until everyone disconnects.
