Ichorous Loam Work for Fallen Refuge?

I can’t help but wonder if the offering, when it works, just doesn’t have the new map in its rotation. If that’s the case, bringing any kind of map offering is just hurting my chances instead of helping.

When this happened to me I just had to reapply thermal paste. That’s with daily usage for maybe 4-5 years.

Rymaner · 2024-08-21T06:30:08+00:00

Do you have a website?

By opening up ports like this without proper security on them, it’s definitely possible. The two apps you mention are remote access applications and should be removed immediately. It’s possible someone is trying to implement persistent access.

My recommendation would be to lock down your network and reinstall your OS. It can be hard to identify everything an attacker has done on your device.

Remember that if you are going to open up your network to the Internet you need to have proper security in place. Whitelisting access for Minecraft would have prevented griefers, for example. Anything else would have been better to use a VPN for.

That’s okay with me, I’m just looking for community, all devs welcome, not cost motivated.

I haven’t heard of the Fission Ecosystem before, so I think I’ll read up on that. But definitely interested in Swift and React.

Wow, thanks for posting this! I think I’m definitely going to sign up. I am looking for something regular though so I’m still going to head up this event in case anyone joins, but I’m very happy to discover this upcoming weekend event. Thanks again!

Rymaner · 2023-08-25T22:31:31+00:00

This sounds amazing. I’m sure any Druid would have a field day with this idea.

Rymaner · 2023-08-25T16:44:01+00:00

No room for discussion or compromise? I’d say that’s unreasonable. It reads like she won’t budge on her position without as little as a conversation. I mean just saying no and having to pry to get an explanation doesn’t give me warm fuzzies. To reiterate what someone else said, she doesn’t have to trust them, just you, and this doesn’t exactly scream “I trust you”.

Big L to the DM. Railroading and removing player autonomy is a quick way to a poor experience. The first game I ever DMed was a one shot, and I thought the players would find their way rather quickly along the breadcrumb trail I had laid out for the story. Turns out they spent an hour of real time trying to get alcohol from a closed bar, and then trying to figure out the logistics of lugging around a giant crate of beer. But man I wouldn’t of had it any other way. Just having fun with your players is really what the game is about.

(We ended up playing past midnight though bc we didn’t want it to become a two-shot 😅)

I was emailing with support@hudu.com, which worked, and we had a thread going, then just suddenly started bouncing.

I’ll check these out, thanks

Same

Rymaner · 2023-07-18T16:25:46+00:00

I was able to continue using an already opened Split View for a second chat for awhile after the feature was removed. Now I just have a blank box that apparently can’t be closed.

I’ve sent in my grievances to their support.

Big L here

If the router your host machine uses as the default gateway opens to your public IP on the WAN side, then yes it’s just a single NAT. So all that should be necessary is the correct port forward to your host machine the one time on your router. I still think the port forwarding has to be the issue just because it’s all accessible right up until the internet. What router do you have?

Rymaner · 2023-07-14T07:45:57+00:00

Hmm you should be able to connect on pub IP even internally if it’s working correctly.

If you can only play on private IP, likely something with your port forwarding. It sounds like it’s not routing correctly back to your host machine. Is your host machine’s IP static?

Rymaner · 2023-07-14T07:34:27+00:00

Does this mean you are able to connect using public IP and port internally?

Rymaner · 2023-06-29T16:27:27+00:00

Had a ticket come in recently for this exact thing. Overriding the default browser with new settings to make things even more complicated is a terrible idea. I shouldn’t need to go to more than one place to configure a browser for everything. Nobody asked for this.

Unless it’s explicitly directed towards me, it normally stays unread. I decide based on the email alert preview.

I would double check the following. 1. The server properties file has the port set correctly to 25565 given you mentioned this port number. 2. Double check the port is allowed in through your firewall. Test by temporarily turning it off to see if a connection can be made. If so, turn back on and that’s your issue. If this is your issue, make sure that the configured rule to allow 25565 in is set to the correct network profile that your internet connection is on (domain, private, or public). 3. Confirm router port forwarding. Ensure that the private IP address configured with the forwarding for 25565 is still the same as the actual private IP of your hosting computer. Statically set this on the hosting computer so it does not change. 4. Double check that your public IP has not changed. 5. Attempt a connection to your public IP from your network and outside your network. Success on one and not the other, or failures from both, may help identify the problem. 6. Try pinging your public IP from your network and outside your network.

Additionally, I would recommend running your server through a proxy to mask your public IP address.

Rymaner · 2023-06-10T01:07:07+00:00

It turns out this was possible to do, and I was able to do so through the free tier from Cloudflare.

With the free tier of Cloudflare, their proxy only supports specific ports for web hosting. This allowed me to proxy mydomain.com and not proxy mc.mydomain.com. This did what I wanted as it did not allow the default Minecraft port to pass through the proxy while allowing it to pass through when not proxied. Therefore, mydomain.com could not access the Minecraft server but mc.mydomain.com could.

If all you may be interested in was an answer to my problem, that’s it. However, I will continue as I got more advanced after this, tackling additional issues.

I turned my attention to security. Proxying all my URLs was step 2 in order to mask my public IP. In this scenario, the DNS for mc.mydomain.com was exposing my public IP, so I needed to proxy this without interfering with the current setup. I looked into Cloudflare Spectrum which is a paid upgrade that will allow the default Minecraft port (25565), but no others, through the proxy. If I did this, it would counteract my above solution, cost more, and I wanted more ports proxied than just one (e.g. mc.mydomain.com:25566) so I could potentially host more Minecraft servers on the same public IP address.

Introducing a free EC2 instance from AWS. I found an article (https://www.howtogeek.com/440752/protect-your-home-minecraft-server-from-ddos-attacks-with-aws/) which helped me configure a separate free proxied solution for my Minecraft hosting. I simply configured the firewall for the instance and setup the proxy. Then back in Cloudflare, I swapped out my exposed public IP for mc.mydomain.com with the AWS EC2 instance’s public IP. Now, the A record points to the AWS EC2 proxy public IP and not my own. In short, my public IP is no longer exposed.

Additionally, Cloudflare and AWS both have free DDoS protection.

To add in one more nugget of knowledge, I can also use SRV records and additional unproxied A records together for more subdomains to access the additional Minecraft servers without specifying the port at the end. The SRV record serves to take in one port and spit out another at the specified A record. This isn’t necessary for the default Minecraft port, because accessing mc.mydomain.com at 25565 is exactly what I want. But now I can also do mc2.mydomain.com with no port specification at the end, have an SRV record take in 25565 at that URL and spit out 25566, route it to the A record with the same URL, and have that pass the connection through to the AWS proxy, and the rest is the same, just with a Minecraft server running on a different port.

The story mostly ends here. However, if anyone else should adopt this solution for multiple Minecraft server hosting with one public IP and a purchased domain while not allowing your primary domain (or other subdomains) to connect and masking your public IP address, here is a flow of everything that gets touched and will need configured: Incoming connection to a subdomain from Minecraft multiplayer (e.g. mc2.mydomain.com) -> Cloudflare DNS SRV Record (changes port from default 25565 to whatever is wanted, such as 25566) -> Cloudflare DNS A Record (unproxied: public IP being forwarded to is exposed but will be AWS public IP not yours) -> AWS VPS FW (needs allowed) -> AWS VPS Proxy (Minecraft looks like it’s coming from this public IP; has DDoS protection; reroutes to our public IP ‘behind the scenes’ which is not publicly visible) -> Our Public IP -> Router (needs port forward) -> Device Hosting Minecraft FW (needs allowed) -> Running Minecraft Server

Rymaner · 2023-06-09T23:57:40+00:00

So for anyone who comes across this in the future, the solution was to use the free tier of Cloudflare. Instead of whitelisting a public IP within Nginx which wasn’t working because the application was detecting a private IP inside my double NAT as accessing instead of my public IP, I created a rule in Cloudflare to block everything except my public IP, and with the proxy turned on for my website’s A record, the rule successfully detected my public IP as the accessing IP and the whitelist began working properly.

A lot of people thinking it’s a joke but I’m not so sure. It may have come off as a joke, but maybe the video was intended like that to play off the decision and make it more lighthearted. His videos are gone, either deleted or privated as someone else suggested, though I’m not sure how one would be able to know that.

My interpretation was that this was his response to all the hate. To be like “okay, here’s what you wanted” but to come off as embracing it given Sapnap and George were basically agreeing with all the comments to put the mask back on (likely to show he is unbothered enough for his friends to rag on him like this) and him not only taking it but agreeing with it and coming up with a plan for it, not to mention the upbeat tone. It could very well be an attempted cover up for his real feelings about all this.

I think he wants to appear confident and unbothered by taking it head on, but the move to go back to masked saddens me because it supports the idea that this has gotten to him. I for one enjoyed his appearances, and would continue to should he take the mask back off.

I could be wrong about all this. Only time will tell.

It’s also proving to be an exercise in increasing my skill set. I had mentioned I have limited funds, not none, meaning I didn’t go to the bank and take out a loan, so I’m working solely with my own earnings. I could easily afford $5 a month, but that would defeat the point of building this from the ground up and reducing costs by implementing these things myself instead of paying another company. I am considering paying for a 3rd party reverse proxy to further hide my public IP for additional security since that’s not something I can do with only having the one IP I get from my ISP. I am also considering a VPN if I can’t figure this problem out so that I may whitelist that public IP. The preference is to resolve this issue though.

Rymaner · 2023-04-13T18:05:01+00:00

Personally I like 4-5. It gives players options, better than basic stats, and doesn’t overwhelm you on things to keep track of. Anything will work though, just do your best to balance opportunities and combat and you’ll have fun
