| Summary | 0003818: Ability to disallow new connections till further notice | ||||
| Description | Temporarily disallow connections n dire times. | ||||
| Additional Information | I think it would be a great idea to have UnrealIRCD temporarily not allow incoming connections till further notice. Something like /pause , could be useful in many different ways such as during botnets/floods/netsplits. Temporarily stopping connections can decrease the load servers and services have to take after net splits. This could also be a great opportunity to further use the hub/leaf directive. Ex: This could be all controlled through hub, meaning hub has the authority to pause connections on all/selected servers if possible. | ||||

I do not know if this should be included as a core feature to Unreal, but rather a module instead. JumpServer by Syzop already provides the ability to close a server to new connections, and redirects users to another server (if their client supports it) What does everyone else think? |

We now have reputation and connthrottle to do this automatically since 4.2.4 (actually, sightly earlier, but 4.2.4 has a correct implementation). I think that's sufficient. |
