Server mirrors in DayZ Launcher
Reviewed, NormalPublic

Description

Hi there, when writing this report, I partially used Google Translator, so I hope you will correctly understand everything that I write here.
The report is about the mirrors of some servers, which make it difficult to find a community server for the game. More details.
Once I wanted to find a community server on the Livonia map, writing in the search bar in the launcher, it gave me a certain number of servers. Next, I sorted the servers by online and decided to visit the completed servers from this list.


And what was my surprise when I found out that from this list 7 servers were links to one. I will add link on short video that shows how it works (in the video I showed the IP of the servers, and they were the same, only the port was different).
You may not immediately understand how unpleasant this bug is. At the moment, I have come across only one server that creates mirrors for itself, but what will happen if several servers do this, what if these servers create not 7 mirrors, but let’s say 20, 30 or 40? How then will it be possible for players to find a server to play?

Additional Information

The solution to this problem, I see, is a ban at the program level on creating servers with the same IP (not taking into account the port), because these mirrors only had a different port
