⚠️ Remove Fastpath fake severs from HL2DM and Blackmesa server browsers

[[ZG] Bubbles Devere]

Hey everyone,

As you may be aware from other posts. A lot of servers are being spammed by fastpath.fr who create fake servers.

I like to use the server browser and check out new servers from time to time. I get quite annoyed by these fake server names which all forward you back to fastpath.fr servers against your will.

Therefore I have created a blacklist compatible with HL2DM and Blackmesa blocking all the Fastpath servers known to date. I will try and update this as more gets added.

https://www.zgeist.eu/forum/download/file.php?id=349
https://gamebanana.com/mods/289337

To use it, download the zip file and extract server_blacklist.txt

For HL2DM:
Open hl2dm > open the server browser > open Blacklist Servers tab > click "Import Servers From File" > Select server_blacklist.txt which you exported earlier.

For Blackmesa:
Close Blackmesa
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Black Mesa\bms\cfg
Paste the server_blacklist.txt file in that folder.
Say Yes if asked to replace.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Bubbles

Another script was already done with more IP...

And someone says that cs 1.6 is affected too

[[ZG] Bubbles Devere]

What I offer is not a script. It is a blacklist.
The currently affected servers are: CSS, DODS, HL2MP, TF2, L4D, L4D2, CSGO, INS, DOI, FOF, PVKII, BMS

I don't think splitting topics like this is productive. I already had a warning topic about this combined with both a list of IP's and a tool that blocks it all. And i even run a fake server with 34/34 bots putting up a warning.

If you want to do a blocklist which will be needed to update frequently because of the fact they can automate port changes thats fine. But i don't like your trying to hijack wider blocking efforts with a new post and a less effective blocking method.

So its better if we combine forces here and stay in one topic (Which i can add your blacklist to if you want) otherwise ill update my warnings to point specifically to my post and not the existing check the steam community message.

For people interested my script is availible on http://content.hl2dm.org/spamfilter so is the entire list of IP's it will automatically block. It blocks it on all ports, so unlike blocklists it will last. I have not had to update the list in months because they are not proactively hiring new servers and it would cost them money to do so. While with the blocklist method they can automatically avoid the block.

If you want to use a blocklist method we'd have to test the limits of HL2DM's blocking, by automatically grabbing my RogueIP's list in php, and then spitting out a line of those IP's with every possible port they could run it on. That would probably be over a million lines of blocks which is why i did not choose to use that method.

I'd like you to either remove this topic and use mine which we can restructure and add your method to, or add my method to the instructions so people can choose what they like best.

Update: Seems like your blacklist is more effective than i thought, but it does not block them on steam's server browser where its the biggest problem since ingame they can't spoof the players as easily. It might be worth creating that blocklist generator in php after all so we can easily combine forces and just add the IP's to the txt file and have blocklists auto generated.

Update 2: I have added a Download_Blacklist option in my folder which will automatically generate new blacklists based on the currently known IP's. If you update the Zeitgeist warning and provide download links there for the three methods (Blacklist, Firewall Script and IP list) we are in sync again. Then players can use what works best for them. The way you present their fake server list is nice, so feel free to crawl my RogueIPs.txt in that script if you want that automatically updated with the list to.

I prefer using a more trustworthy (list) solution like the one I made and recommend which also accommodates all operating systems.

For all readers, please note that the blacklist that you can download on https://www.zgeist.eu/forum/download/file.php?id=321 works on all operating systems and is always updated.

[[Bouncy]-|Henky‼|-[TTC]]

How is this updated exactly? And how do you ensure you have all the IP's on the list? Are we duplicating efforts or are you scraping mine?
After finding out that the blacklist method works (But not on the steam server browser so the firewall solution is still preferable) i also included this method in my public blocklist.
Mine can be downloaded at http://content.hl2dm.org/spamfilter/Download_Blacklist.php and is automatically generated based on RogueIPs.txt in the same folder. All you need to do is link to that URL and then we are not duplicating efforts and you still get to enjoy the blacklist method you prefer (I still urge you to leave this up to player choice).

A comprehensive guide on the various block methods can be found here, which i will now be linking people towards : https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2502626384

Thanks Mr Nick :)

I think that if Bouncy henky really wanted to leave freedom of choice and respected differences, he/she would not come and hijack other persons's topics with unpleasant and patronizing comments saying that "his/her" solutions are the best as well as conveniently spamming the post with with their "leading people towards" links

In my opinion this shows a profound lack of etiquette which I do not wish to associate with.

Thank you Bubbles for the information and the time to inform everyone about the things in terms of the fastpath servers!
