as you may know regarding my previous topic I've got serious problem regarding connection between my server and master server I was checking my server log and I found out every time I join my server this log gets recorded:

Code: Select all

Engine/Game/Online/Engine/Server/ServerConnection.cpp(850): "Main": Info: Client 20.14.0.0:1000 connected! (Id: 1)

that seems like a pair of ip and port and that's definitely not my ip, is that supposed to be my ip?
edit:I've checked this ip you can see it http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/20.14.0.0, it belongs to a ISP wtf does this mean?

Checked my logs, every join is logged as

Code: Select all

"Main": Info: Client xxx.xxx.0.0:1000 connected! (Id: x)

(x = wildcard)

Perhaps IPs are getting cut in logs for security purposes? Compared that IP in logs with your real external IP at the time you join?

thanks for checking, actually I don't know how logging ip of a ISP in U.S would have something to do with security purposes while even I'm not somewhere near U.S and at the time that log was recorded my ip was 2.187.x.x .
As with external ip I'm not behind a router or firewall that would provide an external ip for me.

Well, same for me joining my server... My IP: 91.11.x.x

Code: Select all

Engine/Game/Online/Engine/Server/ServerConnection.cpp(850): "Main": Info: Client 249.209.0.0:1000 connected! (Id: 1)


And behind that IP there is almost nothing :roll: http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/249.209.0.0

so seems this ip detection doesn't necessarily indicate any issue, thanks for assist
