i heard there is a way of blocking NA/EU ip so that the pool of ips is smaller thus making it easyer to land on the ip

how do i do this?
how hard is it to land on an ip ( 50+ tries? more??


thanks

In Windows:
Go to Control Panel
Windows Defender Firewall
Advanced Settings
Outbound Rules (Right Click)
New Rule
Custom
All Programs
Any
Specify REMOTE IP Addresses
- Normally 34.1.1.1-34.255.255.255 and 35.1.1.1-35.255.255.255 to eliminate Google Cloud IPs
Rule needs to be enabled.

The difficult in finding an IP is dependent on a lot of factors.
- How much traffic on the servers?
- How many people looking for/have found the server?
- How many different IPs are available?
- How quickly is your target IP responding?

In a 65-person search group with no leaks looking for an IP in a reasonably small target group, on average it will take you 50-60 tries. Maybe 1, maybe 200. No guarantees.

yeah its a small chance to hit the ip u want. blocking helps increase the odds. with enough tries you should hit it tho, but this is why groups leave 2-3 hours... d clone hunting is often hours of looking for ips and holding games for 5 minutes of killing and a lifetime of pride over achieving anni :drool:

this is also why leaks and multibox fucks other people. when a server starts getting congested with a bunch of people holding games it actually gets less likely to land on that server if not outright impossible if it gets full

it was nice (offline / private servers) when d2nt or kolbot would hunt IPs for us and hold the game :ph34r:

this specific forum used to be people posting hot ips when they would see a soj sale in their game. it was much less organized. im sure there were private and organized walks too, but id hear of a hot IP, or an IP that was due to walk (could see on soj counter websites), and then plug an ip in and walk away. would be nice to come home to a game with dclone ready to spawn

having to manually search IP's is tedious and not for the faint of heart

for example i was in a walk yesterday and got lucky got an ip early. then my game crashed and i was unable to join before it was gone... searched more and got it again. walk got cancelled cuz of a leak so it was a few hours pretty much wasted :wallbash:

but it was good practice to get into it again. the discord organization stuff is really nice im diggin it excited to be hunting again
