Identify the match server.
Locate the destination for the active CS2 match. That server address defines the boundary for a route rule.
SCOPE / MATCH DESTINATIONHow it works
One match.
A deliberate route.
Hopzen is being developed to compare your usual ISP path with available Dubai relay options, then route only the active CS2 match destination if you choose a candidate.
ROUTE SCOPEActive match only

ROUTE CONCEPT
A focused path for the match in front of you.
Illustrative setup · Hopzen client in developmentStart with the destination
Keep the route decision
on the match.
The planned client first identifies the destination used by your active CS2 match. That specific destination becomes the boundary for any route change. It is not a tunnel for your whole device.

A ROUTE RULE IN THREE CHECKS
Three checks before
a route changes.
Measure the candidates.
Compare available Dubai relays with your ISP baseline. Review round-trip time and packet timing before choosing.
MEASURE / BASELINE + RELAYApply one destination rule.
If you choose a relay, its route is designed for the active match server alone. Disconnect restoration is being validated before beta.

Compare the path, not the promise
A relay is an option.
The route decides.
A relay adds another network segment. Depending on your ISP, peering, congestion, and time of day, it can be better, worse, or much the same as the direct route. There is no guaranteed ping improvement.

When the match ends
The route needs
a clear way back.
On disconnect, the selected match-specific rule is intended to be removed so the destination returns to your normal ISP route. Route switching, unexpected exits, and recovery all need to pass validation before the beta is ready.
