FAQ
- Does it work with 1.5.2?
- Yes. There is no reason why it shouldn't.
- I installed the plugin, but it doesn't do anything!
- By default, no actions will be taken against server advertisement. See the configuration manual for a description of the available actions.
- What if somebody advertises using an address like '105.134.1.42,12345',
'server.domain.de 25560', ...? Unfortunately for you, I won't change the plugin to match these address formats.
Somewhere, I have to draw a line between checking each part of each message due to a small possibility that this could be advertisement and sticking to the 'normal address format' of host address:port.
Using a more 'generic' pattern would increase the number of unnecessary 'false positives' for which a DNS request has to be made etc. without significantly increasing the percentage of found server advertisement.I myself have never encountered anybody advertising a server in the format you mentioned, but many people using a format like 123.123.123.123:12345 or server.address.com:12345, you could still manually ping the server using /serverping and ban the person afterwards.
My plugin can't provide complete protection against advertisement, but it can block a great percentage of it ;-)
