FiveM does not correctly hide the IP of the servers

[alpiso]

The problem is the following:

If the server is turned off and a user enters via “direct connection” (FiveM option that remembers the last server they entered), the exact IP address, including the port, of the server is displayed.

I don’t think this is an issue. How do you expect the client to connect if it doesn’t know the server’s IP?

This is perfectly normal.

That’s what the server list is for …

There should be a way to hide that poster where the IP appears.

In my country, the servers are very competitive (I suppose also in your country) and they normally use these IPs to carry out attacks.

You must be aware of this and understand the problem.

You must be aware of this and understand the problem.

You must be aware of the fact that one can’t ‘hide an IP’ if the IP is exactly what is being connected to, and understand your solution makes no sense.

If you are ‘being attacked’ so much, set up frontend proxies or some shit like that

All good. I will look for what you say, thanks for the information. But apart from what you say, I think this information (IP) could be “masked” and not be shown … At least it might not be shown as explicitly as in the attached image. Regards

The IP could be “masked” but this will not deter anyone from getting your IP address. A simple packet capture would reveal the IP.

The best protection is DDoS protection; which many hosts offer nowadays. If you want to use a host without DDoS protection, you can even setup a GRE tunnel or proxy at one that is and have the traffic go to your preferred end point.
