How can I PREVENT an IP Address from getting banned? I do use AM, but need to know how I can filter out that IP from becoming banned. Here is deal, I have friend that is admin with rcon, but his mean brother keeps spamming a bad rcon password using HLSW and then after 3 attempts, server bans their IP.

Your Internet Provider Address is pretty much private information, other people being able to find it out is akin to displaying your credit card number on public servers.
You are an idiot Hardee... moving on
Aries if you are using AdminMod there are a few ways, you could code a very small plugin to check every 10 mins to make sure hes unbanned, things like that.
Attempt to join. If banned, enter the following cvars to get access to the servers console without actually joining the game.
rcon_address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
rcon_port xxxxx (not needed if its on the default 27015 port)
rcon_password xxxxx
Then any rcon he types in console will be forwarded to the HL server. So he can then just;
rcon removeip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
rcon writeip
retry/reconnect.
But of course the real solution is to beat some sence into his brother. Or lacking that option. Create a autoexec.cfg file in the ns dir. And place the cvar "rcon_address 127.0.0.1" or some other ip. Then when the brother enters rcon commands its not sent to the server. And when your admin wants to access the servers console. He justs needs to type the proper rcon_address ip into his console and away he goes.
why is he even allowed on this forum ? all he does is argue and call people names
can we get some moderation here ?
are you sure bout that ? lol I saw what you said
