• How do I unblock a single IP to join my server
    13 replies, posted
So, let's say I'm hosting a server in only one region like Israel and I want to allow only a single IP from the USA to join. How do I do that, if you guys need more information then reply to it, thanks for your support! [editline]12th May 2013[/editline] No, it's not me that's hosting it okay, it's somebody else. They created it so that only israeli's could join, they want to allow me too since I really want to play. How would they be able to do that without a password?
It is dumb. You can get DDoS'd even if people can't join. Same concept as why banned people can DDoS you. Allowing him to join the server doesn't stop him from anything else.
That's beside the reason, just tell me if it's possible [editline]12th May 2013[/editline] Is it possible to accept a single IP from USA to be allowed into Israel's thing anyway to do so?
It is possible using a firewall, you just need to create a rule that denies all traffic, and then another rule which allows that IP address and any others that require you to connect to it, say if you want to maintain it through SSH or RDP.
If you only want certain people joining, use a password
best way to allow one person to join your server is by using a password

Use GM:CheckPassword. PM me if you really need the script written
How did they make it only allow Israeli's in the first place?

You can get DDOSed regardless... I have been getting DDOS'ed for 3 months on and off.
[QUOTE=Samg381;40627796]You can get DDOSed regardless... I have been getting DDOS'ed for 3 months on and off.[/QUOTE] I don't think andrnick7's problem has anything to do with DDOS at all. Their problem, or rather the server owner's problem, is that they don't know how to add an exception for andrnick7's IP. Anyways, I'm not exactly sure how GeoIP is implemented on a server so I don't really know how you could add an exception like this. However, assuming it does the IP checks in a PlayerInitialSpawn/PlayerAuth hook, you could just tell them to add your IP into it somehow. Again I have no idea if that's how they use GeoIP, but this is what comes to mind first.
Yeah you're right, it's not my server; it's somebody elses. I was just asking but nevermind, thanks for your support guys! You guys are extremely helpful!
