Why can't I log in to the game by compiling my own program

After downloading the source code and using vs2022 to compile and generate the program, I received the following error message：

Go into the server folder, open realmd.conf with notepad, change StrictVersionChecking to 0, and then restart the realmd process and you should be able to login.

I didn't set up the server myself, I was playing on an N-server （https://cn.everlook-wow.net/） ，I can log in using the file compiled by the author. However, when I downloaded the source code and compiled the program myself, I encountered the login error mentioned above

@andywy119 If you play on everlook you have to use their own launcher https://cn.everlook-wow.net/ (It comes prepackaged with HermesProxy)

@andywy119 Well it happens because Everlook uses something to auth the trusted hermes proxy (build by the author) on the server side to prevent using exploits which can be achieved by hermes proxy.
