RCON leaking data externally #40

Closed Hardcore-fs closed 5 years ago

Hardcore-fs commented 5 years ago

it seems that "rcon" is leaking data to www.battlemetrics.com all details of the players online are exposed, including the playing time.

is there anyway to block this information, it seems it is default for the basic container.

The Steam query port (iirc it's 28016/udp by default, RCON uses same port but TCP) is designed by the developers to allow public server querying, and while you could simply not expose that port, I'm fairly certain your server would then disappear from the in-game server list. To reiterate: this is by design, and it's public information, which Battlemetrics simply utilizes. Same applies to a lot of different Steam games.
