Re: Reconnect to steam command?

doc — 2012-05-24T18:18:13

It auto-reconnects, not much we can do about it. There isn't a reconnect
command and I'm not sure they will implement one - whenever there would be
a blip in the steam servers you'd have more than a few dozen server admins
hammering away at the "reconnect to steam" command, possibly making the
problem worse.

fixed ttl - most likely a single source, could even attempt locating it ...
also if the tcpdump is correct (no dropped packets) he is getting ~60 
kp/s and ~30mbit/s - blockable by a one line iptables rule (ttl, id, length)

Yeah, if the enemy uses bot-net then its hard to push back, atm im hosted on a 2/2GB line so no probs there... Actually we had someone who found a way breaking a 100/100mbit, so we put the police on the case since it half killed our community. A year after (about.. christmas 2011 i think it was) they met in court and the guy is now gone :-) but a year.. hope other countries are faster than Denmark hehe

I've had this happen several times before on my servers, but this time 
it appears I lucked out.

Just thought I would chime in to say a reconnect to steam command would 
be very appreciated.

I'm asking if anyone's server failed to reconnect to steam, not if
steam was temporarily down.

The master list is back up, but we have a few servers that have not
reconnected for over an hour now, and do not show up on the master
list. The only thing that fixes this problem is a full reboot which
causes the server to empty out for the rest of the day because most of
the players can't be bothered to reconnect.

I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing this problem can chime
in so this fix can be prioritized. Most of you probably don't even
notice this happening.

Steam just died 31 minutes ago. Did anyone else's servers fail to
reconnect to steam?

You can't stop bandwitdh oriented (UDP) DDoS attacks that fill up your
entire bandwidth. They have to be stopped at a higher level in the network,
ie. by your ISP.

Hello havent read all the posts, but as far as i can see you still need a
fix. Ddos can be block in several ways Dos attack fixer v4.x works and
blocks the ip right away for x timeSourcemod has a lot of stuff too that
blocks it Hope this helps as its working for me > Date: Wed, 23 May 2012

For what it's worth, you probably got 0 replies because this isn't an issue
that's easily dealt with as far down the bandwidth pipes as us we admins
are, this needs to be dealt with by your ISP.

Afaik his reply is the only suitable reply.

Every packet has the same payload.

Not sure how advanced the FW's are in your network, but you could match on bit pattern and drop all the offending traffic.

TF2 Voting alternative?

Cameron Munroe — 2012-05-23T05:53:01

I currently use customvotes which is frankly broken. What is a better 
voting system other then the flaky tf2 voting.... I need commands like 
votemap, votemute, voteban, and votekick.

Just a pre thank you for all your help.

Think we can get a sync for the TF2 branch, having CS:S on the same update
timeline as the GOOD servers is a little uncomfortable. Next they'll be
asking to vote and drive themselves to market.
