Sorry for the disruption.

Of course it wouldn't have been done if it wasn't necessary.

So there are 2 scenarios:
A) LFS devs profit, but costumers are not profiting from upgradeing the licence. (the offline experience would justify the price for somes, for somes not, especially when landing page motto has "online" within it)
B) We profit from peer 2 peer solution being more prone to attacks when done well, but devs don't profit.

After consideration, decided it's best to let everyone draw their own conclusions from this, since I've been dragged into same fence somehow. Only thing I can add-up from myself is wishes to everyone for the attacks to end, afterall, it's what most needed. (right after that services activity page, which as always if not 1st partied, might come from 3td some time)

Quote from Scawen :

The Brazilian host controller stopped working for some reason, possibly a rare...

Again our SV does not work, neither in E13 nor in E14 nor in the USA, nor in Brazil, nor in Japan, nor in any country, it only tells me that it cannot start the host

I can't reproduce that issue. I can start a host in Brazil with no problem.

Your host "TEAM AMERICA®INDYCAR" is set to E13. It is intentionally not possible to start a host in version E13.

After setting to E14, remember to click "Submit changes" at the bottom of the page, before you start the host, or it will certainly not start (because it will still be E13 which is no longer supported).

EDIT: I've added a duplicate "Submit changes" button at the top of the page. It was easy to miss as you would have to scroll down to see it.

Exact! that was the problem, thank you very much Scawen

E15 has some more improvements and is now the only supported version.

When convenient, please restart your hosts in E15.

It is fully compatible so I may restart some of the hosts if there are no connections. If you find your host has been restarted in E15, please do not be offended. I am doing it for good reasons.

There is no important urgency as there was last time so there should be no disruption but I reserve the right to close down hosts if necessary or when people don't upgrade in a reasonable time.

Just to be clear, I'm not pushing you around. I'm working on security measures all day every day, and need to get these updates out there. I don't believe it is a big deal for you to close the host and restart in the new version.

Thank you for your cooperation!

"Cannot start the host :
Too many InSim IP addresses or ranges (maximum 8)"

without having touched anything more than the version change

In Access Control - "Allow IP addresses to the InSim port", you probably have more than 8 IP addresses or ranges set. It seems like there is a limit now.

A very few hosters will encounter this restriction (actually only 3 including you). This is part of an ongoing process to reduce the number of open ports and firewall rules.

I don't know of any reason why you need to allow more than 8 IP addresses to connect to your InSim port, as there are only 7 InSim slots available.

If there are good reasons for this then we can reevaluate the restriction.

It's ok, it's just that they add up and you don't realize it, we have left only 2 to collaborate

There is a situation where this could be needed - at least I pretty much needed to do this with Airio for my own servers before I bought VPS from AWS to host Airio from there.

That situation is when your own IP address changes frequently.

For example: I'm mainly able to connect my laptop to the internet through hotspot from my phone. Therefore, my IP address changes quite often (but not every time). Because of that, I previously had to manually add my current IP address to that list every time it changed.

You can specify a range of IPs as well. For example 123.123.123.0/24 will allow all IPs from 123.123.123.0 to 123.123.123.255.
