Presenting the OVERWATCH SENTRY. What does it do? Well, you can enter a list of grids to ban, people to ban by name, ip, or key. It also monitors each person that comes into your sim, and if they are wearing too many scripts to try and crash your sim, it bans them. If they are using too much sim memory and eating up all system resources, it bans them. If they are flying and you turn off flying in the system, it bans them. If they are too tall or too short, it bans them. So it does a lot, and it's all settable by you. I didn't do ban by age because avatar age is unreliable and can return a 0 day age. The device is by the christmas tree at cyberdatastorm.com:8002/wizardry. It's a different kind of device from a security system. Security systems ban everyone except those you allow in. This lets everybody in - but it checks them to make sure they are not hacking or trying to hurt your sim, but it can also ban people from a list. It's really simple to use, just add the name to the appropriate list in the objects inventory, then just click to turn it on. Only the owner can turn it on or off.

Introducing THE GRID BANNER. What's it do? Well it bans entire grids from your region. WHY? you know why. If you need it, get a copy at cyberdatastorm.com:8002/Wizardry Easy to customize, just put the name of a grid in the notecard and click to turn it on. It's working. If someone comes and claims they got kicked but they are not from a grid on the list, then they are tricking you to get you to turn it off. This thing works 100% all the time. People can manipulate the @somegrid.com:8002 and try to mess with your head. Don't let them! :)

Good morning everyone!
I want to share a couple quick thoughts.

1. Thank you for joining me at Friends region! I appreciate and love each of you! No one, including myself, likes change. This was a rough change…..but we are together.

2. Help me get Alex and Victoria on this group if you see them.

3. I want to make sure everyone understands my home and farm is for the group. Things are still under construction….. but this is a land for you all to enjoy. Feel free to sail over anytime and explore. Gradually things will get looking better. The home and farm I am building is for all to enjoy. Please come over…..look around….and steal some drinks!
4. I currently have 3 islands still available for rent. I am very particular about renters…..I want people who will make this home and spend time here. If you know some good people, show them around. People do not have to be avi worlds, but must understand cross grid situations.
5. If people are not online, I suggest using osw to communicate. Many times messages will not be saved if person is not online because of cross grid communications. I put osw in my phone browser, so I try to stay in touch.
6. My health - I had ungodly extensive tests done in hospital…..my heart is good! I still have much weight to put on, but have added 4 lbs in last 10 days.

7. Realize this is YOUR region….and it was named for YOU. Please enjoy

Protect OpenSIM from hackers, Priscila's and DDOS atack is very easy, but most grid owners continue to not protect their grid and servers.

There is 3 simple step guide for admins:

1. Disable BUILD for all visitors, guests, friends..... ONLY OWNERS MUST BUILD! Priscila use THIS option to fill your sim with cocks!
--------------------------
YourSIM:
About land: Options:
Edit terrain: NO!!! Only SIM owner!
Fly: yes, why not?
Build: NO!!! Only SIM owners!
Object Entry: NO!!! Only SIM owners!
Run Script: yes! or mesh body like Athena will not work properly
Safe (no damage): YES!!!
-----------------------------
2. Always use router or at least software firewal:
On your router:
my server use IP port 9000-9010, some server may use 8002
don't open port 8003, 3306, 3389 or other numbers what you see somewhere!
------------------------------
config redirect
option src 'wan'
option name 'SIM'
option target 'DNAT'
option dest 'lan'
option dest_port '9000-9010'
option src_dport '9000-9010'
option reflection_src 'external'
option dest_ip '192.168.xx.xx'
list proto 'tcp'
list proto 'udp'

config nat
option src_port '9000-9010'
option name 'OpenSim'
option dest_port '9000-9010'
option src 'lan'
option src_ip '192.168.xx.xx'
list proto 'tcp'
list proto 'udp'
option target 'SNAT'
option snat_ip 'WAN ip XX.XX.XX.XX'

config rule
option src_port '123'
option src 'wan'
option name 'opensimDROP'
option dest 'lan'
list dest_ip '192.168.xx.xx'
option target 'DROP'
list proto 'udp'
option dest_port '9000'

config rule
option src_port '1900'
option src 'wan'
option name 'opensimDropp'
option dest 'lan'
list dest_ip '192.168.xx.xx'
option target 'DROP'
list proto 'udp'
------------------------
3. Make backups!

=========================== 2024 year additions =====================

4. NEWER allow ssh, ftp, sftp, rdp,smb or any other admin or file transfer access to the server via the same IP address! Use another hidden IP address or better VPN!

5. Backup must be on OTHER phisical device!!! Work copy on some directory is NOT BACKUP!!!

And, keep accusing me of being troll, canibal, ....(all what really is you) but if you not protect properly your server, screams will not help!
