oh i did not say it was bad was just saying you can do this on websites too and that most people would most likely prefer links at there websites over downloading 3rd party software most people are very sceptical if a server asks you to download a .exe first thing they think is "VIRUS" because its unusual for a ark server to provide that.
Yes, you are right, there are some players who are sensitive to downloading exe files, It’s really good to make a website, but you can only enter the game via steam://connect/x.x.x.x:xxx. The premise is that the server network is normal and has not been attack, And the software I said, it will listen to UDP 27020~27029 locally, start ARK, select LAN game, ARK will broadcast 27020~27029, local software will receive notification, forward data to game server.
For example: my ARK server external network IP x.x.x.1 intranet IP192.168.1.100, software gateway node external network IP x.x.x.2 intranet IP 192.168.1.101, ARK server and software gateway node under the same intranet, bad competitors attacked my ARK server through DDOS flood, causing x.x.x.1 to be unreachable and players unable to enter the game normally, through my software, he can help players to enter my ARK server by means of LAN games, receive the data of port 27020 locally through the software, and forward it to the gateway node x.x.x.2. The gateway node sends the data to the ARK server through the local area network 192.168.1.100, so that players can play ARK normally, without being bound by the attacker, such a feature cannot be implemented through the website.
