I've been having problem with either attacks or misconfigured game status systems flooding my servers, so I had to implement strict firewall rules. People can play, and GameSpy works, but Gametracker is blocked. If I open my firewall, everything on my system slows to a crawl.

I tried adding the IP addresss of Gametracker.com and that did not wotk.

So what IP address or range of IP addresses does GameTracker use to query servers? If I know those, I can put them in my firewall to allow the traffic from Gametracker.

GameTracker has hundreds of IPs so it would be time consuming for you to add each and to maintain. Because of this, a list has never been released. I would recommend contacting your server provider and request that they implement decent DDOS protection.

How about posting an IP address range then?

OK, it turns out after a session with WireShark, I found out it was just ONE trouble maker so I blocked just that address (from the UK oddly enough) and let everything else through, so GameTracker is now working normally with my servers.
