Hiding Server IP - Stopping DDos?
#5

That doesnt work. No matter what name/ip/link you use to connect to any server, this identifier is used to communicate with it. Even if you dont got the exact IP (however it should work) you can spam the identifier address with invalid requests. This is called a denial of service attack (DoS).
Thats the way the internet works. Sure you could use a proxy connection by some other server, so the user doesnt know the identifier of the real server, attackers would attack the proxy instead, shut down that one, and so block all servers running over the proxy. Making the proxy ddos-safe is as impossible as making a single server safe. There are ddos-shield services that offer a protected proxy, but they arent 100% safe and are extremely expensive. The samp team wont ever offer protected proxies for everyone, unless they charge a routing fee for every server, which wont happen as samp will always stay free.
If the server connection ip is always resolved to 255.255.255.255, you couldnt communicate with the server. If it just leads to that invalid ip in some cases, there will always be an (easy) way to get the real IP.

You should inform about how the internet/network connections work, then youll see why your idea simply cant work.
