e; Typo in title

Basically, my dedicated server is receiving 6000 instances from 6000 different IP addresses of things that look like this:

Can someone [b]please[/b] help me! I run Garry's Mod servers and have nothing to do with Cod4. I spoke a guy from xG servers, as I found their address among the 6000 others and he said:

[quote]What I think is happening somehow, is someone is DDOS'ing the server very cleverly. The data that you are being sent is just random server information, from the (I guess) the master server list.So I think that someone is doing this...

Querying the master server, to your ip instead of there own.

Thus sending, not using there own IP or bandwidth, the master servers, a stack of server information,.[/quote]

They're starting to use a lot of my bandwidth. This is not cool. If you want I can give you the list of 6000 IP addresses (50 or so may be players on my server so don't think of it as a complete and correct list). I've posted this on Infinity Ward forums and SRCDS forums. Anyone have any other suggestions on where else I should post this? I also sent a letter off to Garry. Can anyone out there help me?

Im sorry to hear that

Infinity Ward really fucks everyone over. One way or another.

[SammySung]

Update. They're doing it through 1.6k ports.

[Buggzie]

Then block the ports

Turn off your server and see what happens, I believe theres a command to stop responding to queries, just have a look at a few commands.

PM me some basic information and I can get this fixed pretty well for you.
