settings in server.cfg

Post by sharp »

I noticed that you reset some settings in server.cfg
but can someone explain to me what is:
max_queries_sec
max_queries_sec_global
max_queries_window

What do each of one have effects on hlds? Why is it so important (that you have to reset it every morning)?

These settings relate to query rate-limiting in the engine, which Valve added to help with attacks. We set this to values that we've found are effective in blunting DoS attacks, while still allowing our system to query the server.
