Firewall bans
GsProtector offers the ability to issue IP bans directly in the windows firewall.
To make use of this option the gameserver has to be started with sufficient rights, usually as administrator, and the settings have to be set accordingly which are:
pathToNetsh: the path to netsh.exe, usually "c:\Windows\System32\netsh.exe"
appPort: the listening port of your gameserver e.g. 12203. This is used as identifier in the firewall, aswell as blocking the IP only for this specific port (this applys to winserver 2008/win7 only, on win2003/win2000/xp all ports will be banned for that IP)
FirewallBans: set here whether to allow firewall bans or not
Please note: If firewall bans aren't allowed and Banning is set to 2 no bans will be issued
