Title: Better Banning?
Post by: cp blast on February 02, 2007, 12:06:44 pm

Hi everyone.

I have recently started my own server and it's going good, except there are the occasional trouble makers, of course.

Here's my problem, banning, when i ban those trouble-makers, they can just get a new IP and rejoin the server to escape the ban. GUID and name bans are useless too, as they can be changed easily.

Is there a type of ban i am not aware of which can solve this problem? I have been told by several server regulars that it is, so i decided to ask here.


Thank you.

Set your firewall to block any traffic from that noob's subnet. He won't come back anytime soon. If he does, just edit the firewall rule and add his new subnet 8)

And if that doesn't work, set your firewall to block any trafic not from 127.0.0.1 THAT will teach them.

doh... how often do we need to read this?
Use the search and find out that better banning is impossible.
