seriously stop being so hostile towards possible solutions to problems that need to be dealt with, and while there are issues with whitelisting theres little we can't overcome in the issues mentioned so far. whitelisting is a cheap solution to antihack that has worked for a lot of gaming servers so i don't see why it can't work for this one if implemented properly.

Is changing your MAC address not just a regedit in windows?

No, but there are third party programs to do that.

Way to tell more and more people spaz.

ehhh. what about account whitelisting? everytime you make a new account you have to get it whitelisted before you can undock with it.

Not exactly hard to google "How to change my MAC address"
And whitelisting would not be trouble by wrongdoers trying to change their MAC address as long as they don't have acces to all the addresses on the whitelist.

I`m curios where you want to white list something?
And another curiosity, do you have any experience as a system administrator or programmer?
RE: whitelist mac addresses and ip - lIceColon - 08-28-2013
Of course NOT - I'm just a person with a vocabulary full of technical terms I don't know how to use. You see the way I work is - I talk out of my ass, and hope in the off chance that something useful comes out.
Maybe ip/mac address whitelisting isn't the best idea.
Maybe account whitelisting is a better idea. I'm not gonna create a seperate thread just for that.
See forums are forums for a reason- they're meant to create discussion, not for bashing stupid
RE: whitelist mac addresses and ip - hungry-bank - 08-28-2013
And how do you propose to implement account white listing sir?
RE: whitelist mac addresses and ip - lIceColon - 08-28-2013
I'm just gonna wait for a dev to answer that one, although my guess is a magic jesus fairy uses its pixie dust to make it happen.
