Hi Terrance, I can garanti that no one from out side denmark can se my servers because i am using my ISP peerings list as a firewall ip list witch i update every week from my isp, so that no one can se the server from out side the c-net?s i allow. U cant even ping it or scan it, i simpel dont respond to any request from out side the c-net list i provide for it.
but in my calculation, 95 servers x 16 slots = 1520 slots and if the add are beeing downloaded 1520 times ahour or more depending on how many connections my server park get ahour its can multiplie to alot of data, even if the add only are 100kb its mounts up to 100kb x 1520 x 24 = 3648000kb or 3562mb thats roughly the increse of international trafic a day. Well when i get the time i will set up a singel server on box and check it out with trafik and packed inspection so that we can sure that just pay for the trafic for our public free servers ant not pay for the "content server prodiverds" add?s. Ill hope that valve/steam will come up with some clearification on this subject, it woud be nice to get valve more active on this mail list so we dont have to make all the work our self in lack of missing information from valve/steam abour their product.
