HostNameWhiteList 1.4

[Bungee or Bukkit] Redirect users who try to connect to your server using an unofficial domain

  1. EDawg878
    Note
    As of 1.4, this is a universal plugin meaning you can use it with either BungeeCord or Bukkit.
    To put it simply, you can place the jar in the BungeeCord plugins folder or the Bukkit plugins folder.

    Description
    This plugin creates a whitelist of host names that can connect to your servers. This plugin is useful to block other domains (i.e. unofficial domains that you don't have ownership of) that are linking to your server while also providing a helpful message to the end user that redirects them to the official address. This plugin may also be useful if you have changed your server IP and want to redirect your users to a new one.

    Source Code
    Github

    Commands
    Aliases: hostnamewhitelist, hnw

    /hnw reload

    block-legacy: true
    # Ignore hostname capitalization
    ignore-case: true
    # Players can only connect through the following host names

    Works as intended, although diagnostics such as debug outputs would be a nice addition. If anyone is interested in this, check out my fork of this repo.

    Beware of that if you are using a SRV record pointed to a CNAME (or just a CNAME), you should add the last A name record to "allowed-host-names", not a CNAME record.

    Example:
    a.example.com = CNAME pointing to b.example.com
    b.example.com = CNAME pointing to c.example.com
    c.example.com = A pointing to 127.0.0.1

    If players connect to a.example.com, you should add c.example.com to allowed-host-names. If another player creates a CNAME pointing to your address, players could still join with their domain. Example of this:

    malicious-domain.com = CNAME pointing to a.example.com

    Joining malicious-domain.com will probably still work even if you use this plugin.

    Good plugin. Please add ignorecase. People type domain name with CAPS and it does no work.

    I really needed this plugin and it is just what I was looking for, however, you add the config option to disable the MOTD message as I have my MOTD message already saying the new IP.

      I'm assuming you are talking about the Bukkit version?

    I Think Bukkit version is broken.
    PlayerLoginEvent.getHostName() Function is showing player's client IP address, so anybody can't connect server.

      Yes, the Bukkit version is currently broken. Although I'm was pretty sure only the MOTD part was broken.
