    Hey Guest, I’ve got some exciting news to share! 🎉

    Starting this December, I’ll be moving the entire GameServersHub website away from WordPress and rebuilding it in Next.js! This upgrade will bring incredibly faster speeds, smoother performance, and a modern user experience that sets the stage for everything coming next.

    In 2026, GameServersHub will be entering a new era. I’ll be revamping the entire platform from the ground up and launching a brand-new, fully modernized marketplace. It’ll feature a cleaner design, improved functionality, and better tools for both creators and server owners.

    On top of that, development has already started on the GameServerListing project at https://gsl-six.vercel.app/, which is expected to launch in early Q1 2026. This new system will make discovering and managing servers easier than ever before.

Amazing plugin! Seen the results first hand and this is a must-have for any server owners out there!
 
Looks an intresting plugin - suggestion to add a whitelist option and/or to ignore admins might be a good idea
 
Hi,

Looks a nice plugin, but for example regarding this Feature: "ALT account detection and prevention ", I have 2 Steam accounts to play ARK 1 for just playing on my servers and another account for administration of my servers. There is nothing I can't do to bypass my 2 steam ids ?

Sincerely,
TOFUDIDO

not currently, but that's an easy feature to add :)
 
Edit: I was wrong about the way the plugin works, thanks to the author for setting me straight, continue reading below for their responses.


This plugin automatically kicks players using nVidia's GeForce Now service. For players with older hardware or laptops, this is the only free service that allows them to play.

that is untrue, this can be disabled from the IPhub control panel, not only this but the entire IP filtering system is optional

Optional or not, it does so automatically. I have contacted the admins of two different servers running the plugin who claimed they did not know how to whitelist a specific IP and even if they did each time I use GeForce Now the IP changes.

that argument makes no sense...

first of all the IP whitelist is right there in the config or it's a command (depending on which type of whitelist admins use) but it doesn't work for IP's it works per steam account so your request to them is invalid in the first place :) because IP's change often whitelisting by an IP address would cause a big hassle

second of all that's not an option set by me, it's an option set by IPhub as default and it can be changed at any time

you should complain to the admins not here on the forum because the plugin is doing its job and doing it correctly. :)

1.7 Release

  • HWIDBans now prevents ARK from loading the default banlist (present in the win64 folder)
  • fixed an issue where HWIDBans would send server messages in some rare occasions
  • fixed an issue where players would be told their HWID was not verified even when it was (remade cache system)
  • the config is now neatly loaded into separate variables (increases speed when pulling config variables)
  • HWIDBans can now import your previous banlists (either the banlist.txt present in the win64...

if you share the database then yes, banning the player on 1 server will apply the ban to all servers.

if you want to ban for only 24hr then just provide time as the 2nd argument in the BanPlayer command and the player will be automatically unbanned after your specified time frame
 
Well i will by that plugin my friend maybe on future update make a list of restricted words with ban or mute on chat or something like that
