Console servers IP showing in "favorites" tab when server is offline.
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

As title.

Console servers IP addresses are being showed in the favorites category whenever the server is offline.
This has led to a large increase in servers being attacked via ddosing. It would be great if this could be removed or some kind of placeholder instead of the IP.

Hello Neue-Germania.

This functionality is not a bug but it is in there for a purpose.

Favoriting a server is done by favoriting the IP and the port of the server.

If server changes either of these things, then it is effectively a new different server and therefore would not be displayed in the favorites tab anymore.

We display the IP and PORT of offline favorited servers precisely so that the users can unfavorite servers they no longer want, since there is a limit on the total number of servers a user can favorite on console.

IP address and port number are not private information.
