So, first and foremost, i would like to thank you VERY MUCH for providing this thing for all of us, your magic makes the game much more enjoyable! On behalf of all console players that would not be able to play decently without XivMitmLatencyMitigator, THANK YOU!
Now for the suggestion. Generally speaking, i believe that people that play on console like me do not have FF XIV installed on their PC, so getting past step 7 of the installation guide can be a bit of a hassle, because of some SE shenanigans like asking for your account and a product code before installation. Also, it seems to be the most "complicated" part of the installation guide, and it can cause some confusion on dumb people like me, who are not very tech savvy lol. Seem that we don't really need to have the game installed, but just the executable, i would suggest, if possible, to update the installation guide to change step 7 to something a bit more simple.
For example, looking through the resolved issues, i found a comment from the user BankJaneo, that posted the following code:
curl -o ffxiv_dx11.exe https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bankjaneo/XivMitmDocker/main/app/ffxiv_dx11.exe
I just typed it on the command prompt from the VM and boom, done. Apparently, i was able to download the .exe from just typing this command, and skip step 7 completely. No need to download and install FF XIV myself.
Also, BankJaneo, if you are reading this, THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was having trouble getting past step 7, but you saved me with your code. Thank you for uploading the .exe on GitHub and posting the code for us!

A slight tangent here but you maybe can answer the question I've had - My (limited) understanding is that your ffxiv_dx11.exe needs to be the latest version, but I'm not entirely sure how often they update. I was able (with much strife) to download a copy from a friend via a HTTP File Server but it was surprisingly difficult and we couldnt get it to work ever again.
I take it from your comment that the 6.55 exe in BankJaneo's repo is still working as of 7.01?
BankJaneo - Since you're quite active here maybe you'll see this question also: If a new version is required for 7.05 (or whatever the raid patch is next week) will you be updating your repo? I live in fear of a new exe being required and my HFS solution not working.
Thanks to both Soreepeong for making XivMitM and BankJaneo's instructions/advice across multiple posts here for making the game playable on my awful connection <3
From my experimenting, the EXE file doesn't always needed to be the latest version. In contradiction, on some updates, latest version of EXE turns out to break the XivMitmLatencyMitigaotr script instead.
Currently the script is working fine with 6.55 EXE. However, I understand that my repo is a bit misleading on the release note part. I'll rewrite that part later when I'm free.
