Reply With Quote #1

Hello,

I have a problem with my fastdownload on my server, some people told me that there is no fastdownload on the server while it's working as well for me. then i tried to change sv_downloadurl and replacing the subdomain to the server's IP.

from:
PHP Code:
sv_downloadurl "https://fastdl.example.com/cstrike/" 
to:
PHP Code:
sv_downloadurl "http://xx.xx.xx.xx/cstrike/" 
Then the guy told me that's working better than before. is there any solution to solve that problem ?

Game: Counter-Strike 1.6

If it's just that guy or just a few people, it's possible that the DNS server that they are using doesn't work well.

Because their DNS server isn't working. They can edit their DNS in Windows.

Is there any reason you can't just use your IP?

Because for most people the DNS works.
If it works for you with the IP instead of the hostname leave it as it is. There is no advantage in the use of a hostname.

I want to use the DNS so people cannot know the IP that i'm using for fastdownload

Erm, you cannot prevent that. a simple
Code:
ping your.hostname
shows your servers IP.

The exception being when you have a dynamic IP with the proper configuration to update the IP associated with the DNS name.
