Author Topic: Get IP of other clients in server?  (Read 2815 times)

Is it possible for a client to get the IPs of other clients in the server? I doubt it but it's worth a shot.

Maybe a better question would be, "Is there a way to authenticate users given only their name and the IP of the server they're on?"

Nope.

Authenticate for what?


Does authentication take BLID into account?


Just name and IP
Well then there's always going to be the issue of someone possibly faking out a BLID with a name and IP... :/

On a semi-related note, is there a way to get the server's public IP? (other than using some external server)

serverConnection.getRawIP() ?


You can get the IP of any server on the server list. The information is sent over to you when you refresh the list.

Nevermind. In case anybody knows of a way to do the original question, though, I'll leave this open.

What are you doing that you need to authenticate clients like this?

He's planning on adding BLID/name/possible IP collection to Support_Updater I believe

Sounds like too much power to have.
Though admittedly useful for the community.

In that case he could just add it to the server-sided part as most servers should have support_updater anyways. There'd be no need for a client sided method.
