brand new server-computer is on place and working. also a new internet with a lot better connection and strength are activated (1000 km distance gives 2 ms ping!!)
Atm I'm setting up softwares that will protect the server against attacks such as Dos/DDos/Hijacking.
for double protection against everything there's a hardware firewall with installed softwares to sort out possible attacks, and ignore unallowed outputs, also there's 4 softwares inside the hoster-machine which each will deal with their own types of issues.
For example one is a classic ip-tables which will limit each user to MAX X-kb/s usage of the server-internet. another one is there to make sure nobody can get into somewhere they're not allowed, third one to ignore already known attacker-ips(IPS that have been detected as bot-net) and so on.
depending on how fast I can fix everything up, I might launch the real game this weekend! meaning the game is on for real! more players will drop in and exisiting accounts/players will never be deleted! (with exception you don't use cheating softwares!)
about me being quiet the last week, I'm sorry about that, I just had a lot of work and haven't really had time to visit otland
