How to protect my code?

[Jurnero]

Hello!
I would like to know whether to use obfuscator to protect my code. What do you think about it. I have found many opinions here, but they seems outdated

Pasta code is a great obfuscator!
There are simple ways to confuse the code for reading by another programmer. Recently read one of the ways: Break your code into multiple files with as few functions as possible in each. In each file reuse the same variable names, but for utterly different meanings.
You can give variables an unexpected name. This is confusing! But it can be harmful for you too.
But if you want to use obfuscators, be careful. Some obfuscators complicate the subsequent maintenance of the code.

I think confusing variable names does not suit me. This will mislead me. The question is not to make the code simply unreadable. And to protect your code from being used by others.

Try to obfustace it!

If you think about obfuscator, you can try ArmDot. It does not use undocumented features. Therefore, you will be deprived of surprises related with this features.

Thanks, I'll look into this tool.
Thank you all for the answers!

Can you distribute only the executable code?
Then you don't have to obfuscate the source code.

Thanks for your reply. This is a good option. But not exactly what I need

JulsSmile, how does it work? I read, but do not understand completely

This program uses a virtual machine to convert code. You can read in detail in the official source.

Thank you all, the question is closed

use more private class

Thank. It is reasonable! I think it can help to some extent.
Although I think this is not enough to protect the program or game from hacking
