Yes, all players need to use a vpn. Use a software like hamachi to do this easily. 2012/12/6 Sachin Sud sudsac...@gmail.com: Can you put some info about VPN. Do you mean to say each user needs to have vps client installed as well? or Its just open VPN On Thu, Dec 6, 2012 at 1:27 AM, Adam

What if you blocked the Steam traffic port for the server? I think game info queries are done over that port, and you can specify it manually at launch. I suspect clients would still be able to console connect too. -Jeremy On Dec 6, 2012, at 8:19 AM, Vitor F. - Killall x30...@gmail.com wrote:

Yes, If i block steam traffic port as well, then players wont be able to connect. Now what we have done is 1) Used -nomaster so that server info does not come 2) Server is password protected so only few people know the password 3) When all the player comes in the server they go offline from steam

Hmm. If you're already blocking all IPs (except the ones you whitelisted), then what's the point of the password? It won't hurt anything, mind you, but I'm curious On Dec 6, 2012 6:20 AM, Sachin Sud sudsac...@gmail.com wrote: Yes, If i block steam traffic port as well, then players wont be able

I've not tested it. You will need to access the firewall (iptables) and put this rule. iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport YOUR_SERVER_PORT -m string --hex-string |FF FF FF FF 54 53 6F 75 72 63 65 20 45 6E 67 69 6E 65 20 51 75 65 72 79 00| --algo bm -j DROP Doc on

Use VPN. If the VPN server is setup on the same computer as the game server there will be no penalties other than slightly increased bandwidth. Together with -nomaster this will make the server completely inaccessible from outside and anonymous (internal VPN ip will be reported). On 12/5/2012

I don't think you could HIDE the server ip address and still show up in the browser. Perhaps there's a way of not being published to the browsers. I understand the DDoS attacks, but in the end, you could block them calling the ISP, they have the necessary tools for doing so. On Wed, Dec 5, 2012
