Windows What windows host to choose?
NOT recommended! It's another outdated Tutorial. Do not use it. You don't need phpmyadmin, you shouldn't use the old packages recommended there. Rather google how to do it nowadays. You don't need an OT specific tutorial to learn how to handle a linux system (btw rather debian than ubuntu). -

Hosting a server
Ubuntu is basically the unstable version of Debian. Debian is more stable, robust and reliable. The only downside is that that means that Debian only takes the stable and well-tested packages into consideration. But that is the price for its' robustness. So Debian will always be behind Ubuntu... -
[Tutorial] How to setup The Forgotten Server TFS 1.2 (10.98)
I'm surprised but correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like the newer versions of TFS do not simply support it. You would have to change it in the sources yourself. Which isn't a big deal thoughI just don't understand why the developers wouldn't think of that in the first place. OTServer... -
[Tutorial] How to setup The Forgotten Server TFS 1.2 (10.98)
Not bad for testing your, so far configured, server on windows. But: Why are all your links going via your youtube video? There is no reason to do so unless you are greedy for clicks. SHA1 is completely outdated. Do not use it! Use SHA256 instead! Optional SHA512 or SHA3 if supported. There is... -
TFS 1.X+ How to run private server only for friends
Never said he shouldn't host it on windows for his own private use ;) Just saying that the guide will not tell you everything and is outdated. As well as not fitting for real hosting. (Which is beside the point in this topic) -
TFS 1.X+ How to run private server only for friends
Too bad that Introduction starts with, oh yeah, Install xyz on Windows. Followed by: How to do this on Windows... Not mentioning that it is by far not finished and completely outdated. So far barely anything is worth reading in that "Introduction"... I thought about editing it and adding a few... -
TFS 1.X+ How to run private server only for friends
Well you will need everything a usual OT needs to run as well. A database, a webserver, etc. The difference is that you can bind your OT and your webserver to your internal ip (192.168.x.x) so noone outside your network is able to reach it. Since you are on Windumb you will need to configure... -
zip password
It is not easy, there are a few different kinds of ways you can try to get the password. Brute-Force is one of them but also dictionary attacks can help. If you got a part of the password you may also try a Biham-Kocher attack. You can google how to do all of these, it is not hard, but unlikely... -
Looking for cheap dedicated servers
Everything you say is true. They are reliable. It is important to protect your server. And DDoS attacks are a problem. But DDoS attacks are not as much a problem anymore as they were 10 years ago. The protection has improved by a lot and every host does protect his servers. Yes, you are right...- Merrok

Looking for cheap dedicated servers
Funny, I'm not with OVH but much cheaper hosts. I have had multiple DDoS attacks on 2 of those servers so far (both with different hosts) and the only way I noticed was their notification system sending me a message that they suspect an attack going on and asking me to report why this may be the...- Merrok

Looking for cheap dedicated servers
First of all you can move to a stronger server once you need it. You do not need to start with a strong one. You cannot know how many players you will have opening a new OT. The performance of a server depends on different opponents. Not only RAM or the CPU but other components are also...- Merrok

Looking for cheap dedicated servers
Actually wrong, their DDoS protection works great. The problem is that they have issues with their network connection. That is why it does come to lags and loss of connection at some points in time. They might be stable and powerfull, but they are not cheap at all. If you don't mind the money...- Merrok

What are you using to protect your custom client?
That is kind of true, you can encrypt your code but it must be decrypted to be executed. The computer needs to be able to read the code to start the program. So at the start it does get decrypted, meaning the key to decrypt the code is on your pc and it just makes it harder for people to get to...- Merrok

Login only with custom client
Not exactly. You need to edit the primes as well as the modulus and the private key. The modulus and the private key are being calculated using the primes. So all of these need to be changed in order for RSA to work. But as I said before, before you change anything in the source code, make sure... -
Login only with custom client
The client does require the public RSA key as well as the RSA modulus to encrypt messages. The RSA public key is always, or should for compatibility reasons be 65537 but the modulus can be changed. TFS 1.3 simply works with a pem file instead of needing all required variables by itself. You do... -
DoS and DDOS mitigation
I was actually thinking about making a HowTo on that topic but now i decided not to for a few reasons. The easiest way is to read into iptables and find out how it works first. Then you can google for best practice methods on how to set up iptables. These methods usually include a small DoS... -
DoS and DDOS mitigation
There is no complete protection against Denial of Service Attacks. The best protection, besides a network of VPNs infront of your actual server, is a dedicated hardware firewall set up correctly. Basically every hoster has not just one but dozens of those running. You can and should add an extra... -
SIMPLE ALL IN ONE: From nothing to a fully working dedicated server on Ubuntu
Well i guess it can. I read it as well, but obviously multiple people did not. Of course you can state that it is their own fault, but it is no effort to at least mark it in red. Or change the system so that it requires you to change this users password on the first login. That is possible to do... -
[Huge] Raising money to move forward...
You guys should not get mad or rage about this. 50$ is a small amount. The idea of communities like this is to help each other and, yes, do it for free. But the world does not work like this. You ask what the money is for? Well that is simply, it is for the time he puts into it. Time is money...- Merrok
