Malwarebytes Blocking Unknown IP Connection

[MarblesXIII]

Last night, moments after logging in to a friend's dedicated Valhiem server, Malware-bytes blocked connections to the following IPs... The block alerts happened one after another... Malware-bytes reports these IPs as "Compromised" and they were blocked...

I saw no effect on my game-play or the mod we have running (Valhiem+)... ANy Ideas?

Both IPs are owned by ColoCrossing, a US server provider. It might be the provider for your friend's dedicated server.

Probably nothing wrong with the IP itself. Valheim pings a lot of servers the moment you click on the join server tab. Malware bytes probably recognized that as problematic. Next Valheim patch will feature throttling when pinging servers. Until then try to just lower server browser pings in the steam general settings → in game → from 5000 to 250.
