Netstat and Openkore Question

Hey recently I noticed that when I open a bot, each individual bot opens another session in netstat with the Foreign Address as follows:

34.173.232.73.static.reverse.ltdomains.com:http

I was curious as to if these two were related and did a reverse lookup. Now that account also associated with openkore.com or so the lookup says. I am just wondering as to what my bots need to open up a connection with your servers for at all? Is it for updates or error sending reports?

Any information is appreciated =)

thats the anonymouse usage reporting... it sends some the servername you're playing on and then makes a whirlpoolhash of your username + servername (dont worry its hashed, nobody can ever trace it back to the original text). and it sends the version used.

Translation: useless bloat that's never been used from what I've seen.

Disable it in sys.txt.

Previously the statistics can be found here:
http://www.openkore.com/view-statistics.php

But it would seem that VCL turned statistics reporting off on the server because of the many times bots were connecting - and the server was becoming really slow processing all those info.

Yeah, you need a fairly hefty pipe and a strong server to handle statistics reporting. Depending on how you do it, anyway.

oh ok, thanks for the info everyone, I'll just turn off the anonymous reporting then. I wanted to make sure it wasn't a error reporting contact for you guys and to help with the SVN releases before I shut it off.

I'm just curious, what was the bot/human ratio for a non-private server, like iRO? Would the humans win if there we ever a bot uprising?
