When playing chess against a bot such as Stockfish, you can select its strength level.

Using VMProtect after UPX is like starting to play chess at a difficult level.

I recommend increasing the complexity step by step.

Choose more well-known protectors with detailed research and tools.

For example, consider ASProtect or Armadillo. These protectors are well known in the research community and there are many tutorials and scripts available.

After mastering well-known protectors you can go deeper.
