"GeoIP plugin support on the way"

Give us the good update !

 

Hi, Wulf!

Help...
installed plugin:
- GeoIP
- CountryBlock
- ConnectionDB
- etc..

Code:

[Oxide] 8:35 AM [Info] [CountryBlock] Getting country for 212.231.***.*** failed!

and ConnectionDB IP[Match and compare] cooperation support options

 

OK... Thanks.

 

Again. Give us the good update please !

 

CountryBlock works not as intended.

My config:

Code:

{
  "CountryList": [
  "CH",
  "AT",
  "LU",
  "DE",
  "LI"
  ],
  "Whitelist": true
}

So now this happend this morning (oxide up to date, rust up to date, plugin up to date):

Code:

CountryBlock has done nothing as a player from russia joined the server, but on the whitelist are only switzerland, austria, luxembourg, germany and liechtenstein.
Yesterday and the days before it works very well and blocked the connection of players from russia, hungary, italy and slovenia.

I've no idea what's happend and please make the geoip plugin work or a native IP resolving, notifier and the old version of countryblock (0.4.7) can do this, too.

 

REQUEST:

• Ban function(Country connect) <- VPN/Proxy measures

 

This would be great, but a pain. Server owners would need to manage their own VPN IP blacklist ( .dat file or MySQL ) like Hulu does. But that doesn't ever guaranty you'll block every hacker. They can just get a cheap VPS ( Budget VPS Hosting - Cloud Shards ) and install OpenVPN or SoftEther VPN and avoid being blocked by almost any server based IP blacklist.

That being said think about IP blocking like bases in Rust. No base keeps every raider out. Some bases are just such a pain in ass that "most" raiders will move on to an easier target.

 

VPN IP blacklist endless IP...
ban when it was detected....please...! wulf

 

How !? How is he going to "detect" the VPN connection ?

 

text miss. "This server doesn't allow players from **" -> detected -> Autoban(CountryBlock)

 

@Wulf

Maybe I'm confused or we're talking about different things. Those services you're talking about simply return the country of origin for the IP address, correct? I use a VPN service to connect via a POP in Brazil the Rust server plugin will think I'm a player from Brazil. As well as someone in Russia connecting to a VPN in the US the Rust server things the IP is US based.

What web service will tell you if someone in Russia is using a VPN that has a US based IP to connect to your server? Tell me - I must know.
