Not sure if you can block it using the windows firewall but if linux you can block it with iptables or ufw
TaeSlyOne
TaeSlyOneOP•2y ago
i did sudo block (ip name here)
Amelia

can use ufw (if its installed, it should be) sudo ufw deny from IP_ADDR to any Tho these scanners change IP's quite frequently

this has worked multiple times for getting individual ips to stop
Amelia

Not really an "easy" solution Just have to keep blocking the IPs they use

I made a spigot plugin that filters those out and doesnt affect players who actually get kicked or disconnect from the server

Damn. Then you just need whitelist on.

Whitelist doesnt work, it will still will reconige this as a server. @TaeSlyOne I would reccomend changing the default port of your server to something a little bit off. You player base will have to put little more info in (serveriporurl:port), but it will protect against simple scanning attacks
