Why does the samp website make connections to my samp server? - r3ct - 12.02.2014

Title says it all I was reading over my servers connection logs(not the ones the samp package provide the one the data center provides) and there is a lot of connections coming from an IP in the netherlands that redirect to main samp website when its typed in your address bar. Why is this happening? I believe it may be causing my ddos protection to trip out at times.

So let me get this right, are you thinking that SA-MP developers are trying to DDoS your server or what?

The connections you are seeing are those from/to the SA-MP master server, which allows your server to appear on the server list, to turn it off simply add announce 0 to your config.

The solution is in my post, but watch your language pal.

Set announce to 0 in your server.cfg

Yeah sorry I just am shocked that someone would even suggest something so ignorant.

At the samp team, there is something about the way you're doing it causing this to throw false positives on my boxes ddos protection. Other game servers with a master server list doesn't do this so you may want to check into the code you use to update it or whatever I am currently going to just whitelist this so it doesn't keep spamming my network logs but it is something you may want to take a peek at.
