Request for DNS support

Hello,

A lot of users come here to gametracker for get the real IPs of servers (because that are not using proxys).

I think that Gametracker should have the possibility to put domains, is really unsecure and there are sites teaching how to attack gametracker servers.

A good server ever uses proxys, and proxys like cloudflare requires to have a domain.

Gametracker is not supporting domains.

Please solve this problem.

Domain names point to IP addresses, so I am not quite sure how it provides "more security." Providing users with a domain name instead of an IP address is not a security measure.

BTW - This is not a "bug report," but rather a suggestion. GT may at some point support dynamic DNS addresses for cosmetic purposes on server pages but there is currently no timeframe that can be publicly posted.

Thanks for understanding.

I dont want to say my ip address because I'm using a proxy server for avoid attacks.

DNS addresses are not only for cosmetic.

Even there are servers that uses DNS because his IP's are not static.

By the way, I mean that if a player knows the real ip address he can uses this information for attack the server (DDOS Atacks for example).

Attacks that can be avoid with proxy security.

GameTracker now supports DNS addressing! Thanks for your enthusiasm.

All,

Based on popular demand, we are trying out a new feature on GameTracker which allows you to track your servers with DNS.

If you have a server on GT and want to try it, visit the "manage" page of your server. At the bottom of the page is a text area where you can specify a DNS name. Once you specify a DNS name, all URLs related to your server and players will update to contain the DNS name.

Any feedback is welcomed.
