Consider config option to increase connection ID expiration in UDP tracker
Consider config option to ignore connection ID expiration in UDP tracker
Dec 26, 2024
Relates to:
connection id could not be verified
torrust-demo#14We have recently implemented an IP ban service to ban IPs that are not sending the correct connection ID for the UDP tracker.
Initially, we thought it was a DDoS attack or spam, but it seems to be a common problem. It seems there are some BitTorrent clients that do not implement the UDP specification correctly.
Some people have reported bad clients even increasing the expiration for the connection ID to 2 hours. That probably means some clients don't care at all about the connection ID, presumably because some trackers don't care either.
We could add a configuration option to increase that limit, but I would prefer to strcitly follow the specification.
