`[TCPSOCKET] closed by remote host` after BNLS connect when running more than two bots from the same ip about ghostpp HOT 6 CLOSED

Did you update bncsutil? #12

from ghostpp.

Yes, i upgraded to bncsutil v1.4.1. I also don't think there is a relation since two of my bots are running fine since i started them, the issue only occurs when the 3rd one starts with the same public ip.

It could be related since this issue is entirely on Battle.net side (Battle.net accepts your first two connections but decided not to accept the third one, after your bot sends SID_AUTH_CHECK packet Battle.net is not sending the response and so you get the hang). I had strange problem where CD keys purchased several years ago work fine with old bncsutil (meaning invalid SID_AUTH_CHECK packet), but newly purchased keys hang in the same way. Upgrading bncsutil fixed that.

Are you sure that the bncsutil is upgraded correctly? A simple way to make sure the new version is being used is to go to the source code of new version, add a debug line like this in getExeInfo function in checkrevision.cpp:

printf("yup this is the new version\n");

And then recompile and make sure you see that print line.

Otherwise probably Battle.net just decided to limit the number of connections from your IP to 2 instead of the 8 connections it used to accept. Maybe for some non-residential IP ranges they are having stricter limits.

Im sure, i removed stormlib/bncsutil from the repo in my fork to build from source, i'm not really a fan of copying source files from another repo and since im building a container i can do it just fine in my case.

--> https://github.com/docker-gameserver/ghostpp/blob/master/.gitlab-ci.yml

Section:

  - git clone https://github.com/BNETDocs/bncsutil.git
  - cd bncsutil
  - git checkout v1.4.1
  - cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -B./build -H./
  - cd build && make && make install

Would be pretty sad if the set it down to 2 from 8 :( I will try to run 3 containers locally and check if it works with my residential ip.

Works from my local ip ... great. Guess they set the limit to 2 for known datacenters or sth. Also tried it on DigitalOcean/Amazon real quick for refence and i can't start more than 2 bots either :(

Another note for other ppl. finding this, do not let your 3+th bot runnning if it keeps reconnecting - you'r gonna get ip banned.
