With WaterDogPE proxy everyones IP/XUID is the same

[kabluinc]

Describe the bug

When using WaterDogPE proxy (https://github.com/WaterdogPE/WaterdogPE) to connect to the Geyser server, everyones IP and XUID is the same as the proxy's.

For pocketmine, a plugin is used to retrieve the clients real IP/XUID from the Waterdog_X value of login packet client data. (https://github.com/supercrafter333/WaterdogPE-IP-XUID-Fixer)

Could something like this be done for Geyser, please?

To Reproduce

Setup a WaterDogPE proxy and add geyser server to it Join through proxy Check IP of all players on Geyser server who have joined through the proxy

Expected behaviour

Players real IP is retrieved and applied

When will this be done?

[lootoos]

it's also interesting - when will they do it?

[Camotoy]

I believe the last time this was discussed, we were open to the idea but we didn't want to implement something specifically for Waterdog. We would rather conform to a generic protocol. Alternatively this could be extension territory possibly.

[lootoos]

what are the alternatives in this case?

[Konicai]

An alternative: Don't run Geyser behind the proxy. Use a transfer packet to completely move the player from WaterDogPE to the separate Geyser server. Which means they completely disconnect from your proxy. If you want to move them back to the proxy, you need to send another transfer packet from the Geyser server.

where can I get a transfer package?
